Start with what matters
Think about whether you prefer burial or cremation, the type of farewell you would like, and any traditions you want respected. It is okay to leave some things undecided.
Planning ahead
A thoughtful gift for the people you love.
Make space for a gentle conversation about the future. Planning ahead starts with your wishes, not a commitment.
Talk through your optionsWrite down your wishes
Keep a record somewhere your family can easily find. Include important contacts, preferred music or readings, and anything that would make the farewell feel like you.
Have the conversation
Share your wishes with someone you trust. A funeral director can explain practical arrangements. If considering a prepaid plan, ask about its terms and what happens if your circumstances change.
