Why deal with it now

You have probably already put many things in order for your family. Planning your funeral is part of that: deciding yourself, calmly, rather than leaving your loved ones to choose in your place, in grief.

• We almost always put it off

  Even careful people keep postponing this subject. Most families end up discovering everything at the worst possible moment, with no guidance.

• A final gesture for your loved ones

  Clarifying your wishes spares them difficult decisions and the fear of not doing as you would have wanted.

• You stay in control

  You decide what matters to you, keep control of the budget and avoid unnecessary costs, at your own pace and with no obligation.
