You have come to the right place if you would like to RIP up the rule book and create a moment in time which allows your loved ones to smile at your funeral because you have lived, rather than cry because you have gone.
Death is still a taboo subject that many of us don't want to think about. Loved ones are thrown into deep despair following a bereavement, making funeral event decisions even tougher.
Partners, children, step-children, blended families and siblings can find second guessing your funeral wishes tough and it has been known to cause conflict when emotions run high. Having to agree on funeral arrangements together can be a challenge for some; judgement can be clouded and may lead to regret later on.
Ask yourself ‘if I don’t do it, who will’? Being bold enough to have your plans in place will be a gift from you that people will appreciate.
It allows those close to you to be secure in the knowledge that they are honouring your wishes and could make everything more calm and meaningful.
I will sit with you to help you explore a plan of the funeral event you would prefer (or don't want) in the form of a Wishes Book, which you get to put away until needed. You may decide to include your family and friends in the conversation.
Your Wishes Book can include any do's or don't care’s - anything for the type of funeral that you would like, from permission to wear bright colours, glitter, feathers or to have a party on the beach; you could even attend your own memorial before you go (it has happened).
You can include personal messages, photos, recipes and letters to put in your Wishes Book - together we can discuss the art of the possible.
This is not a legal financial document or a Will – it’s simply a recording of your funeral wishes.
Prices start from £48 an hour and includes your personalised FUNneral Wishes Book for you to keep. A small price to pay for peace of mind.
Give Funnerals - Your Wishes - Your Way loved ones the gift of writing down your funeral wishes so they don't have to struggle to get it right, with FUNnerals® – Your Way.
