End of Life Wishes & Funeral Planning
Record your wishes, so your story and is told the way you want
I provide gentle, practical guidance to help you plan ahead — for your own peace of mind, and your family's.
Planning ahead with confidence, recording your funeral wishes, write your life story, and design a ceremony that truly reflects you
— with two free downloadable planning booklets.
Why Plan Ahead?
Talking about death isn't easy, but doing so early means you get the funeral you want.
It also makes things easier for the people arranging your funeral. Knowing they're honouring your wishes brings comfort and peace of mind at an emotional and difficult time.
You may have already:
* Written a will
* Have a funeral plan
Pre-paying for a funeral means you're cared for by a funeral director of your choosing, and you get to make other decisions in respect of your funeral yourself
Your life story & ceremony planning
Telling your story, your way
Together, we can write your life story and choose the music, poems, or readings you'd like shared with family and friends. Your story matters — it deserves to be remembered and cherished, and there may be chapters your loved ones don't yet know. A life may end, but a story doesn't have to.
I'll write your story, prepare a ready-to-use script for when it's needed, and create a keepsake copy for your family to treasure.
Prefer to keep it simple? That's fine too — we can talk through just the outline of a ceremony, or plan the whole thing in detail. It's entirely your choice, and family members are welcome to be part of the process if you'd like.
Considering a Living Funeral?
Some people choose to celebrate their life while they're still here — known as a Living Funeral.
Why not hear your family and friend's fondest memories, and share the music you love, while you're here to enjoy it?

Final Wishes Booklet & Guidance
Not sure where to start? Two free guides to help.
I've put together two short booklets you can download and print for free:
-
Final Wishes Booklet — a place to note your funeral wishes and requests, so your loved ones know exactly what would bring you comfort and them peace, when the time comes.
-
Guidance Booklet — a plain-English explanation of the options available and the terminology often used around funerals, so nothing feels unfamiliar or overwhelming.
Recording your wishes — and the story of your whole life, including the years your children and grandchildren never saw — is a gift to the people you love. So much comfort comes from knowing you're honouring someone's wishes; it genuinely helps with grief.
