My Funeral Wishes: A Workbook for Planning Your Own Funeral — Fillable PDF

Planning your own funeral is one of the kindest things you can do for the people you love.

When someone dies, their family often has to make dozens of decisions within a few days — while grieving, and while wondering what you would have wanted. This workbook from Arranging a Funeral lets you write it all down, so they don't have to guess.

Inside the 16 pages:

• About me and where to find things — the details and documents your family will need, without passwords

• The kind of funeral I'd like — burial or cremation, religious or not, and how the day should feel

• My farewell — your coffin, what you'd like to wear, and who you'd like to carry you

• Music — for every part of the service, and the songs you definitely don't want

• Words — readings, who you'd like to speak, and what you'd like people to know about you

• Flowers, dress and transport — including a dress code, if you'd like one

• The wake — where, what to eat and drink, and the toast

• People to tell — friends and groups your family might not know how to reach

• Afterwards — your ashes, a memorial, and how you'd like to be remembered

• Paying for my funeral — with up-to-date information on FCA-regulated funeral plans

• Letters to the people I love — space to say what you'd want said

• Signing and reviewing — so your wishes stay current

A thoughtful gift for parents, grandparents, or anyone putting their affairs in order.
