You're thinking about a direct cremation - but your family want to have a service and say goodbye. What are your options?
A direct cremation means that there is no service at the crematorium. The cremation takes place, and the ashes are returned to your family within 14 days. However, this doesn't mean you can't have any type of farewell - it means that your family can choose a different memorial or celebration of life that feels more suited to who you are.
If you're outdoorsy, how about a family walk along one of your favourite hiking routes to the pub, to raise a toast in your memory?
If you love a party, your family could throw a celebration of life with a playlist of your favourite songs.
Or, if your focus was on spending time with your loved ones, then what could be more fitting than a family meal with all your favourite foods?
We understand how difficult it can be to talk about your wishes with your loved ones. Making a funeral plan helps you to decide which elements of the funeral are most important to you and help open the doorway to a discussion ahead of time.
And, if you go ahead now, you can save up £100 off a direct cremation plan, or £200 off a funeral service plan - PLUS receive a free £100 gift card if you buy during October.
