Thinking Ahead
Let them know your wishes and give everyone peace of mindWhen a family knows they are carrying out a loved one’s wishes, they are more likely to experience a healthier bereavement – one with fewer uncertainties, worries or quiet regrets. There is great comfort in knowing you’ve given your nearest and dearest the ‘send-off’ they deserve. Which is why it’s so worth getting over the awkwardness which stops us from talking more freely about death. Death is part of life, and having the conversation with loved ones ahead of time can spare your family the burden of worry and decision-making at a time of loss.
Make your Plan of Wishes
Sun Life's Cost of Dying 2020 report points to the overwhelming pressures felt by those arranging funerals to "get it right, to honour the deceased's memory". In the same survey, less than 1% of people knew what their loved ones would want. That's why we've created a free Plan of Wishes service. Our Plan of Wishes Checklist, which is available to download, gives you 20 straightforward questions you can use, either to draft your own Plan, or to start the conversation with those close to you. Once you've decided what you'd like, we'll create your own Plan of Wishes, give you additional copies and even talk to your family on your behalf. Or go one step further and start the process now with our online sytem to Record your Plan of Wishes.
