For peace of mind, pre-arranging your funeral is an ideal solution. When a death occurs, a period of adjustment begins for the family and friends. The pre-arranged funeral saves them the task of making important decisions during a time of emotional stress.

Pre-arrangement is a practical way of determining an individual’s wishes for a funeral in advance. The pre-arranged funeral provides the opportunity to decide the type of services preferred and outline instructions for final arrangements. In advance of need, you and your family can discuss and act together, on what will meet everyone’s needs with regards to the funeral service.

A pre-arranged funeral has many benefits including:

• You can protect your loved ones from unnecessary stress that is related to making difficult decisions at an emotional time.
• Your family will be relieved from any burden of collecting family details and information.
• By making all your choices now, you can be assured your wishes are known.
• Your pre-arranged funeral can be altered if you change your mind regarding a selection.

A pre-arranged funeral enables you to detail the arrangements that you want included in your funeral, such as:

• Whether you prefer a burial or cremation.
• Where you want your funeral service to be conducted.
• If you prefer a service to be in a church, chapel or graveside and the verses or reading you prefer.
• The type of coffin or casket.
• Your preferred music, flowers, service sheets, refreshments and more.

In addition you can provide the necessary information about your family for the purposes of Births, Deaths and Marriages. This includes names of parents, spouse, children, dates of birth and your own details. By providing this in advance the family then do not need to recall all those details while emotional and grieving.
