Funerals

It is far more environmentally friendly to be buried than to be cremated, but 74% of us choose cremation (or in many cases have it chosen for us).

Making a will is your last chance to influence something or someone that is very important to you, and yet only around 30% of us actually do it. The reason is probably that we just don’t like to think about it.

A death plan is a document which allow you to take control of how you plan to die. It should be made when you are relatively healthy, and it a fit state of mind. It covers the medical treatment you wish to receive (or not receive), who you wish to visit you (or not), your wishes for your funeral, and anything else you wish to specify. You should talk it through with a close friend or relative, or your doctor, to make sure everything you request is reasonable and legal, and ensure that signed copy is added to your medial records.
