Survey of What's Important When Planning a Funeral

Recent Industry Survey reveals what's important when planning a Funeral.

65% Following the Wishes of my loved one

56% Making it a Celebration of the person and the Life

43% Making it personal

40% Making sure everyone who wants to be there can attend

39% Keeping it simple

32% Giving them a "proper send off"

28% Keeping overall cost down

15% Following family tradition

1% Other

The statement I use when working with families is 'No Agenda but Yours" fits this as the families wishes must come 1st. Whether religious/non-religious or a mixture.

One funeral which I was asked for specifically at a Funeral Directors I had the experience of the Funeral Director saying "This is what we do"! I mentioned I had been asked for due to the personalised service I had previously done. I did what the friends/relatives wanted. I don't get any bookings through that Funeral Director!

Creating personalised meaningful Funeral Ceremonies is important. Personalisation and choice has become the norm.

When booking with a Funeral Director ask for Bespoke Funeral Ceremonies to get what you want. Many references to back this up from families.
