Planning Your Own Funeral guide published

The Scottish Government have today published a guide to Planning Your Own Funeral.

The short booklet takes people through what they should consider when planning their funeral, including decisions such as:

• whether to be buried, cremated or have your body donated to medical science
• what kind of coffin you would like
• how you will be dressed
• what kind of service, if any, you would like

The booklet also provides further information about financial planning for a funeral, and the assistance available if your family can’t afford to pay for your funeral. There's also space to write down a personal funeral plan which can then be shared with friends and family.
