This document is intended to act as a guide to friends, family and the Funeral Director as to what sort of funeral you would like, together with any details you would like to request for the service itself. You can go into as much or as little detail as you wish.
The categories listed below are intended to act as a guideline or prompt as to the things you might want to consider. It is not intended to be an exhaustive list, so there is a space at the bottom for you to record any further information should you so wish. Equally, you may not wish to complete all the boxes, so that some decisions are left for family or friends at the time of need.
It is a good idea to tell your family or friends that you have completed this form, and to keep a copy of it in a safe place. We can keep it on file for you if you wish, or you may prefer to print it out and keep a copy with your Will.
