Record your funeral choices
Recording your funeral choices in advance provides peace of mind and ensures your final wishes will be respected.
This way, you can communicate specific preferences regarding ceremonies, music, and rituals. This also eases the burden on grieving loved ones who may struggle with decisions during an emotional time.
Recording your funeral choices also minimises the potential for family conflicts, as the recorded wishes serve as a clear guide for honouring your memory – as well as providing a more personalised and meaningful farewell.
Embracing this proactive approach empowers you to shape your legacy and grant your family the gift of clarity during a difficult period.
How to record your funeral choices
Our funeral choices form is available in two formats: online, or as a PDF document that you can download and complete. The questions are the same in both formats.
You and your family are under no obligation to use Forrest Funeral Services by recording your wishes with us: this is a free and obligation-free service designed to help you.
