It’s important that our loved ones know what our final wishes would be in the event of our death so they can give us the sendoff we would have wanted.  But surprisingly, many people never sit down to talk about the arrangements while there is still time.

Would we want to be buried or cremated?  What kind of service would we want and are there people we especially want to be invited?  What about the readings and the music?

Not having answers to these and many other questions can be distressing, especially if there is confusion in the family over what should be done.  Knowing what they would have wanted can help relieve some of the pressure at such a difficult time. 

With that in mind, we at Integrity Funeral Care have created the document above to help.  We recommend you download it and fill in precisely what you would like to happen to you to make things that little bit easier for those left behind. 

Once you’ve completed it, put it somewhere safe where you know it will be found when the time comes.  Perhaps put it with your will or other important documents, or give it to the person closest to you for safekeeping.

It could take just a few minutes to explain what you would like; a few minutes which could give some real comfort to those you leave behind.
