Funeral arrangements can be daunting, so consider choosing the following:

  • Type of service: Traditional, memorial, celebration of life, or a combination.
  • Location: From funeral home to somewhere meaningful. 
  • Officiant: Whether a Celebrant, Humanist, Family member, Friend, Priest or Minister
  • Casket or urn: Casket or urn? Consider the deceased’s preferences.
  • Obituary and death notice: Consider your self-written obituary; plus consider a notice in local newspapers or online.
  • Order of Service: Schedule events, readings, music, and other tributes.
  • Reception or gathering: Allows family and friends to unite, share memories, and support one another.
  • Personalise the service: Incorporate personal touches to honour the life and memory of the deceased.
  • Communicate with family and friends: Keep family members and close friends in the loop any updates.
  • Take care of yourself: Look after yourself and seek support if needed during this difficult time.
