Why Plan Ahead?

Planning for the end of life

When planning for the end of life we all have wishes we’d like honoured, whether that’s regarding the months or years before we die, the details of the funeral, or exactly what happens once we’re gone.

Many people want to make sure their affairs are in order, but often find thinking about their end of life difficult.

However, making certain important decisions can feel like a positive step, and be beneficial for both you and your family in going some way towards making a distressing time slightly more bearable.

If you’ve had to a arrange a funeral for someone else, you might be aware that it isn’t the easiest thing to do, especially when emotions are running high. Making end of life decisions in advance and organising a prepaid funeral plan lets your family, friends, carers and healthcare professionals know your wishes for when the time comes:

• It helps you to stay in control of what happens to you
• You can feel relieved that you have shared and documented your wishes
• It can avoid stress and disagreement between those who would otherwise have to make decisions on your behalf
• It can also reduce the emotional and financial burden on your loved ones.
