B1. THINK ABOUT YOUR FUNERAL “This may seem a sombre and depressing thing to do but the first step to helping your family, and also ensuring your wishes for your funeral are followed, is to write them down,” says Executive Director of Red Apple Law (www. myredapple­law.com), Angie Wilson.

“It may be easier to start by thinking about what you don’t want — maybe even write this down as this provides some guidance and reassuranc­e to your loved ones that they won’t choose something you wouldn’t have wanted.

“Then think about what you would like. Flowers or donations to charity perhaps? If donations, which charity?

“What kind of service would you like? Ensure you talk through the individual parts of the ceremony with your loved ones.

“Don’t forget about the music you would like played during the ceremony either.

“The most important thing is to make sure you’re aware of all the choices that are available to you… and that someone knows what your choices are.” funeral plan you’re fully covered though aren’t you? Sadly, not necessaril­y — if you have purchased a pre-paid funeral plan, you may have paid for this in one go, you may have paid a deposit and be paying monthly instalment­s for a set period of time or you may be paying subscripti­on style payments. Regardless of how you are paying, I urge you to check one thing — how much of your disburseme­nts, such as doctor’s certificat­es, flowers, newspaper notices etc, are included/covered by your plan?”
