There are many factors to consider that might avoid your loved ones having to make often difficult decisions at a time when they are grieving. These include:
The structure of the service itself:
A message of Hope
There are two main parts to a funeral service: the first is about telling your life story and the second focuses on sharing your own beliefs and these can be combined in a really meaningful way. Sometimes a friend or relative may be able to talk about your life and then the Officiant / Celebrant will offer some reflections.
If you have any other thoughts including who you might like to attend, (or who you might prefer didn’t attend) make a note in your Book of Wishes.
