Does your family know your funeral wishes?

It’s something we don’t talk about enough but we should.

Have you told someone what you’d want when the time comes?

Whether it’s a simple note, a conversation, or written into your will, letting someone know your funeral wishes can make a world of difference.

We see it often, families left to guess what their loved one would have wanted (the music, the type of service, burial or cremation) because it was never talked about.

❤ It’s not always easy to bring up. But it is one of the kindest things you can do for your family.

It gives them peace of mind at a time when everything feels uncertain.
It lifts a weight.

It helps them focus on saying goodbye, not second-guessing.

So if your wishes aren’t written down - write them.

And if you’ve written them- make sure someone knows where to find them.

We’re always here if you’d like to talk it through. No pressure. Just honest, local advice.

“If I die before you”

If I die before You!
This is what you must Do!

First of all will you hold me
as you whisper goodbye?
Then take a moment
for your tears to dry.
Order my basket,
that is light in weight,
So I can see through the holes
when I reach heavens Gate.

Line it inside with a
cotton sheet that's white.
It will help keep me fresh,
as I head for the light.
Remember these words,
that are important to me,
as you are now my voice
and my eyes to see.

You were my best friend in life
and in death you still are,
So please carry me from
the funeral car.
Love our family
with all of your heart,
tell them our story
to the end from the start.

Smile every day
for the joy that we had.
Remember the happy times,
no need to be sad.
We had more than so many
because of the things we knew,
Think only of love
which was all that was true.

But my final words
that you have to respect,
for they define who I am,
so they must be kept.
Forgive those that you see
that had done me wrong,
hold your head up high
at my funeral song.

Always be grateful
for the memories we shared
and don t ever forget,
just how we both cared.
You brought breathe to my life.
You were the reason for my days.
You were the answers to my questions,
the one that gave me praise.

So do not mourn for me please,
for I am not gone,
i am still in your heart
where I've been all along.
