Funeral Wishes Document

When someone dies, the family makes dozens of decisions within days — burial or cremation, which funeral director, what music — while exhausted, grieving, and arguing over what you "would have wanted".

This fill-in document for England & Wales takes the guesswork off their plate. Work through it in one sitting or over a few weeks: your basics, burial or cremation preference, service style, music and readings, who speaks, how it's paid for. It also explains why funeral wishes should never live only inside your will — wills are often read after the funeral has already happened.

• Every decision a family faces, prompted in order
• Burial, cremation, woodland and donation options covered
• Prepaid plan and payment details recorded where they'll be found
• No wrong answers — leave any section blank
