Pre-Planned Funeral Services : Pre prepare your celebration

Initial Contact for Pre-Planned Funerals

Following your initial contact, we will arrange to meet with you and your family. During this meeting, we will ask questions about your life and take notes to help us create a meaningful celebration of life. This will allow us to craft a personalised funeral service that honours your wishes. 


After preparing the written funeral ceremony, we will return it to you for review. If any changes are needed, we will make the necessary adjustments and send the revised written funeral ceremony back to you for approval. This process continues until we reach a final approved version that you are happy with.

Once you have approved the Written Funeral Celebration Service

Once approved, the Written Funeral Ceremony is then handed over to you as a final document, either by email in PDF format or by post or in person as a printed document. When you receive this document, you should file it with your other end-of-life documents, such as your will and insurance papers, and inform a loved one or your named executor about where these important documents are stored. We will also retain a copy of the original on file in case yours is lost. Now that the Written Funeral Ceremony is yours, we understand that over time, your wishes may change, so we recommend updating it accordingly as part of your celebration of life planning.

When the time comes

We hope that the Written Funeral Ceremony document is kept alongside your will and other end-of-life documents for many years to come. However, the day will inevitably come when you die, your family will need to make arrangements for your funeral service. 


It is crucial to have documented who you wish to deliver your celebration of life. Anyone can conduct the service on your behalf; you may choose a family member, a friend, or a Professional Funeral Celebrant to deliver the ceremony.

Funeral Ceremony

When planning your celebration of life, it's crucial to choose wisely who will deliver your funeral service. A friend or family member may find the day overwhelming with emotion. As the writers of your written funeral ceremony, we would be honoured to deliver it for you.
