Funeral Planning

My funeral planning service covers off a multitude of decisions while educating individuals about the choices available to them, many of which may surprise you.

Although these conversations may be confronting or uncomfortable for some, I believe these decisions will have to be made at some point by either yourself or your loved ones.

I prefer you make these decisions while you are in good health and it is not so emotionally difficult for your or your family.

I will be there to support you through the conversations and remove the fear of the unknown and normalise the process for you.

Your funeral planning will cover every aspect of your funeral including deciding on a funeral home or a more personalised at home family led funeral.

This includes but is not limited to: legal paperwork completed for the necessary authorities, your preferred service inclusions, persons to be notified, flowers, verses, casket/shroud, music, cremation or burial, place of rest, celebrant, clothing and accessories, order of service, obituary notice placements and pallbearers.

• Up to 2 Hours Consult – via Phone, Video Call or In Home discussion.
• Support to identify and discuss the many options and considerations required in your final funeral or service.
• A Completed Funeral Plan ready for your executors, family, or friends to follow when the time comes. All decisions have been documented – Leaving them free to grieve and process their loss.
• All Documents can be provided in hard copy and or as a PDF File and Word Document so that you can make any future changes as required.

Included Free with Your Funeral Plans

• Bonus: Completed Death Certificate Information required for the Funeral Director or to Register a Death.
• Bonus: ‘Things You’ll Need to Know’ – A blank template for you to complete in privacy for your Executor – Passwords, Accounts, Insurance Policies etc they will need to know. (Grace and Gratitude are not involved with completing this document.)

• Bonus: End of Life Funeral & Service Checklist. An Action plan detailing your decisions, what needs to be done, and who will take responsibility for the required tasks.

If you have not chosen a Funeral Home or Director, I will find local options for you after I have undertaken my own research, visited the facility and I am confident they are reputable and will provide great customer service with genuine care and sensitivity for your individual needs.
