How to prepare for someone’s death

Talking to family and friends about your wishes can give you peace of mind that everything is ready.

Things to consider

Funeral arrangements

There will be lots of things to think about, so talking to family and friends about a funeral checklist can bring peace of mind they know what your wishes are.

Some things you might want to consider are:

  • Research which trusted provider you’d like to make your arrangements with
  • Who will be your appointed Next of Kin
  • Have you left a Will?
  • Have you got your Estate in order?
  • Think about saying ‘Goodbye’ to your loved ones
  • Have you got all the help and support you need around you – carers, family and friends
  • Make sure your family, friends or carers have the contact number and details of your funeral plan
  • If you have any dependents, have you made arrangements for their ongoing care?
  • Have you made arrangements for any pets that may need to be cared for or re-homed?
We can help with arrangements at any time.

If you are receiving end of life care and haven’t made any decisions yet; or have any questions, you can talk to one of our team 24 hours a day on 0800 471 4689 or email us on support@withgrace.com
