Advance Funeral Planning

Plan your funeral in advance and give your family peace of mind. Record your wishes with us today.

Why plan ahead?

Planning your funeral in advance is one of the most considerate things you can do for your family. It removes uncertainty, reduces stress at a difficult time, and ensures your wishes are known and respected.

Benefits of advance planning

  • Peace of mind: Know that your wishes will be followed
  • Ease the burden: Your family won't have to make difficult decisions while grieving
  • Personal choices: Express exactly what you want - music, readings, burial or cremation, and more
  • Time to think: Make decisions calmly, without time pressure

How it works

Step 1: Make an appointment

Contact us to arrange a no-obligation consultation at one of our funeral homes.

Step 2: Discuss your wishes

We'll guide you through all the decisions:

  • Burial or cremation?
  • Religious or non-religious service?
  • Which cemetery or crematorium?
  • Type of coffin
  • Flowers and music
  • Who should be notified?
  • Any special requests?

Step 3: Record everything

We create a detailed record of your wishes and store it securely. Your family will have access to this information when needed.

Step 4: No payment required

  • Record your wishes only (no payment required) - Your family pays for the funeral when the time comes

Is it right for you?

Advance planning is suitable for anyone who wants to:

  • Take control of their funeral arrangements
  • Reduce the burden on family members
  • Ensure their wishes are clear

Many people find the process reassuring and practical, especially if they have specific wishes or limited family support.
