Where to begin when planning a funeral
The essentials of planning a funeral.
Key decisions to make when planning a funeral
These are details only as next of Kin can decide, and which need to be put in place in order to move the process forward. We’ve tried to keep these to a bare minimum and then highlight what you can reasonably delegate to others so you are not left to cope with everything.
What funeral arrangements you can delegate to others
It’s important that where you can, you delegate tasks for others. This way you can focus on caring for yourself and those closest to you. This way the funeral becomes a co-creation of what feels right to celebrate the deceased’s life from those who loved them most. Many hands make light work.
The very minimum that needs to be put in place
In certain cases, it is necessary to keep things simple and go for a paired-back funeral. In these cases we have compiled what should happen as a minimum and you can decide where to take it from there.
