It's Your Funeral: A guide to creating meaningful funeral ceremonies (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781764047203)

fThe ultimate funeral planning guide.

Two books are combined in the one publication, the first being 'The Last Farewell, and the second being 'It's Your Funeral'.

The need to organize a funeral comes at a time of intense grief and pressure. 'The Last Farewell' tells you what you need to know in choosing the style of ceremony you would like. It can be used by a civil celebrant who is presiding over funeral or memorial ceremonies, or used by the bereaved who need clarity in their time of grief.

Some people like to be organized well in advance, and if that extends to organizing their own funeral, 'It's Your Funeral' gives them all the information and check points for doing that. The focus of the book is on non-secular ceremonies, but aspects can be included in a religious ceremony. Examples of funerals encompassing different situations are included.

It might seem macabre, particularly if you are in the best of health, but planning your funeral can be both practical, and can greatly lesson the grief and trauma for those otherwise tasked with the job.

Those who are ill and have reasonable expectation that their days are numbered find some solace in organising their funeral in advance. It may be the last measure of control they have in the process of dying, and also allows them to make financial provision in advance. 'It's Your Funeral' provides a simple guide to help you through the planning process.
