What it can include
Burial or cremation, type of ceremony, beliefs or customs, music, readings, flowers, donations, wake, ashes, funeral director preference and how costs may be covered.
Important: a funeral wishes document is not a will and does not make your preferences legally binding. It is practical guidance for the people arranging your funeral.
