You may find talking about arranging your funeral with close family members is a difficult subject. Preparing a written record of your wishes can make it easier to approach this subject with your family and at the same time helps to ensure you get the send off you want. Dignity Funeral Services are providers that can help you to tackle this difficult subject with sensitivity. Your family will be glad when the time comes that you made these arrangements.
You could complete a free plan on the internet, or request a free paper copy sent to you. The online form means your instructions can be stored with the service provider. The tool will provide you with current costs and projected cost for the coming years.
These are some of the most important and very personal decisions you will make and should not be made in a rush. You will have the option to change your instructions once your plan has been completed and registered with the funeral service. You are entitled to receive free information and advice on all aspects of your plan from your chosen service provider.
There is no need to pay any of the costs when you draw up a plan. There are several pre-payment options which you can elect to use. However, by pre-paying for some or all of the services, you are ensuring that the people you leave behind will not have financial worries about how to pay.
When you are clear on what you want in terms of a burial, a plan ensures your family knows your wishes. When you pre-pay a plan with a service provider, they will follow your wishes. To avoid any misunderstanding you should provide family members with a copy.
If you intend to move house, remember to advise the funeral provider once you have lodged your instructions with them, and especially when you have paid anything towards the costs. When taking out a pre-paid plan it is important to know what happens should you move outside the area.
