A pre-arranged funeral is simply a funeral service that is organised in advance. Pre-arranging your funeral is a way of ensuring that your loved ones clearly understand your wishes and preferences, and know what you would like them to do following your passing. The period following the death of a loved one can be a highly stressful and confusing time; pre-arranging your funeral can reduce the stress experienced by your loved ones at a difficult time. A pre-arranged funeral is not prepaid; payment is made at the time of death.
Pre-arranging your funeral is a great way to ensure that your loved ones understand your wishes. You may specify any of the details of the funeral service that you wish.
- Whether you wish to be buried or cremated
- Where you wish to be buried, or to have your ashes stored or scattered
- The preferred location of your funeral service
- Who should be notified following your passing
- Who you would like to attend your funeral
- The clothing and/or jewellery that you wish to be buried or cremated in
- Your preferred clergy/celebrant to officiate at your funeral service
- Your preferred coffin/casket or floral arrangements
- Your religious or spiritual preferences and requirements
- Your environmental preferences
- The music that you wish to be played during your service, or poetry to be read
- Any additional special wishes (e.g., to be buried with a special photo, to have a musician perform a specific song)
