🔍 Curious about the key questions to consider when planning your funeral and sharing your wishes with loved ones? Colm Kieran, funeral director and founder of My Farewell Wishes, recently highlighted our concept of the Three Main Questions during his appearance on "Ask Me Anything" with Andrea Gilligan on Newstalk radio's Lunchtime Live.

💬 These questions serve as a foundation for starting the conversation about your farewell wishes:

1: Burial or Cremation: Have you decided whether you prefer burial or cremation? This fundamental choice can guide many aspects of your funeral arrangements.

2: Ceremony Preferences: Do you envision a formal ceremony, a simple gathering, or something unique to celebrate your life? Clarifying your ceremony preferences ensures your farewell reflects your personality and values.

3: Wake Arrangements: Would you like to have a wake or visitation before your funeral? Considering whether to include this tradition allows loved ones to honour and remember you in a meaningful way.

💡 These questions are vital for understanding your preferences and ensuring your wishes are honoured when the time comes. Start the conversation today and let your loved ones know your thoughts.

Every Friday, as part of our ‘Ask Me Anything’ series, we put your questions to people from interesting background or working in different jobs. Today on the show Andrea was joined by former jockey Jamie Codd on Lunchtime Live...

Irish customs hold a unique wisdom in the grieving process. Wakes and funerals, recognised for their support, offer solace and strength to those who mourn. Are there any customs or rituals that give you comfort? Feel free to join the conversation in the comments. 💚🌹
