My Funeral Wishes

Have the Funeral You Want by Making Your Wishes Known

Without discussing how you would like your funeral to be, it is impossible for your loved ones to know your preferences. Making a note of your wishes will save your next of kin the stress of trying to guess what you would have wanted. It also ensures that you can give your own personal touch, highlighting what is important to you for your funeral.

Why Is It Important to Document Your Funeral Wishes?

Easing the Burden on Your Loved Ones

By documenting your funeral wishes, you provide clear guidance to your family and friends during a difficult time. This helps them focus on their memories and grief rather than making stressful decisions.

Ensuring Your Personal Touch

Noting down your wishes ensures that your funeral reflects your personality and values. Whether you have specific ideas about music, readings, or other elements, recording these preferences helps ensure your funeral is exactly how you envisioned it.

Ways to Plan Your Funeral

Pre-Paid Funeral Plans

Opting for a pre-paid funeral plan can give you peace of mind knowing that your arrangements are already in place and paid for. This can also ease the financial burden on your loved ones.

Informing Your Next of Kin

If you prefer to leave the arrangements to your next of kin, it is still helpful to document your wishes. Make sure someone knows where your plan is kept so that your desires can be honoured.

Discussing Your Final Moments

Talking About Your Preferences

Being able to talk about our final moments and what we wish to happen can help ensure our wishes are met. Discussing details like whether you want your pet with you, or if you prefer certain music at your time of death, can provide comfort and clarity.

The Importance of Quiet or Specific Requests

The Benefits of Talking About Death

Working Through Complex Emotions

Talking about death with our loved ones can help everyone work through complex emotions while we are still alive. These conversations, though difficult, can lead to a deeper understanding and acceptance.

Honouring Your Life as You Wished

Having these discussions ensures that your friends and family can honour your life in the way you would have wanted. It allows them to celebrate your life according to your desires.

Keeping Your Funeral Wishes Safe

We have created a booklet to help you make note of any funeral plans and arrangements that are important to you. A funeral is an occasion for your family and friends to express their grief and celebrate your life. Make sure that you keep this booklet safe and inform a loved one, so they are aware that you have considered your wishes for when the time comes.

Hard copies are available in our office.

At Regency Funeral Directors, we are here to assist you with planning your funeral wishes. Contact us for any guidance or to discuss pre-paid funeral plans to ensure your final desires are honoured.
