I created this workbook after hearing time and again from grieving families about how difficult and overwhelming it can be to manage the practicalities and plan a meaningful funeral service when someone they love dies. Grief is heavy enough without the added pressure of making decisions, handling paperwork, and trying to answer questions that have been left unspoken.

This printed workbook is intended as a gift to those you leave behind – a way to ease their burden during one of life’s most painful times. It’s a gentle and thoughtful guide that allows you to record your wishes, share vital information, and offer clarity and comfort when it’s needed most.

Inside, there’s space to outline your preferences for a funeral or memorial service, capture important practical details about your life, and reflect on the legacy you want to leave. It also includes a section for ‘life admin’ – the key information your loved ones may need, such as bank account details, passwords, and other essential matters that often become difficult to untangle.

Whether you complete this on your own or use it as a conversation starter with your family, I hope it brings peace of mind. This is your opportunity to ensure your wishes are honoured and your loved ones are supported. This is your story, your legacy – and your love, carefully put into action.
