What do I need to consider when funeral planning?

Some of the things you may wish to consider when planning your own funeral are:

  • Whether you wish to be buried or cremated?
  • If you wish to be cremated, where would you like your ashes to be kept or scattered?
  • Are there any particular clothes you would like to wear for your burial/cremation?
  • Where would you like your funeral to be held?
  • Who would you like to attend your funeral? 
  • Are there any songs you would like to be sung or poems read?
  • Should there be a wake or party after the funeral? If so, how should the wake be carried out?
  • Would you like to nominate a charity to which people can make donations or would you prefer that gifts were sent to your family?
