Learn how to write down your wishes for your funeral service for free at this drop-in session at Lonsdale Community Centre.
We have launched our ‘Get Your Wishes in Order’ campaign aiming to normalise talking about death and what we want for our funeral.
Join us at one of our drop-in events that are open to all to collect your free 'Get your wishes in order' folder and ask any questions you may have about planning for funerals.
The folders ask questions such as which music you would like at your funeral, your favourite reading or poem, and memories you would like mentioning in your eulogy. Don't be put off, speaking about these things or simply writing them down can help the loved ones that you leave behind one day in the future.
So, no matter your age or health, please consider collecting a folder.
Visitors can drop into any of the events listed below to collect a folder, which you can fill in to let those who will organise your funeral know what you would want at your funeral service. Once completed, you can store it away until your family may need it.
