Farewell Planning Resources
There is a lot to think about when it comes to planning a farewell for a loved one, and often very little time to get it all sorted.
Here are some resources that you may find useful as you organise a farewell service for your love one:
Farewell planning checklist
Our Go With Grace farewell planning checklist is a general guide of things you might want to consider when planning a farewell service.
Budgeting
We have compiled an overview of the various costs typically associated with funeral services. It may also be helpful to take a look at some funeral budgeting examples outlining the costs of different types of funerals.
Funeral directors
If you are working with a funeral director, they will be able to organise many of the farewell details for you if you choose, especially around caring for the body and the farewell service itself. They may also have planning templates and resources you can use to help with the process if you would prefer to arrange the details yourself.
Other Resources
Our Go With Grace resources section has a selection of poems, readings and songs that may be helpful as you put together the service sheets and playlists for the service and organise the wake.
The Go With Grace Plan is a free, user-friendly tool to record end-of-life wishes.
