What do we do?
Only
two things are certain – life and death.
So much planning and preparation goes on in life,
that often death is just “thrown together” at the end, when family and friends
are in disarray and emotionally drained.
An average wedding or birthday celebration receives
more planning and thought than the funeral and remembrance of the deceased.
Forethought TM offers you the chance to
help your loved ones, to plan your funeral in whichever style or way you
wish.
This is not a pre-payment scheme, no bonds or pre-payments
are taken from you. We consult with you
prior to your death so that we can give you our full attention and pre-funeral
planning services to help you and your loved ones at a very emotional time in
the future.
HOW
DOES THIS WORK?
You will contact us here at Forethought TM
and we will make an appointment for one
of our team to visit or contact you and discuss your thoughts and wishes for your funeral
arrangements.
We have a pro-forma of items on which we need input
from you such as, do you wish to have a religious or non-religious service? Do
you wish to have flowers or not? There
are many questions like these that will need to be answered but, it is not a
long and tedious process.
We will also need names and addresses of your loved
ones and next of kin, and details of any body part donor schemes you belong to
or wish to join.
Your wishes will then be collated and transferred
into your Wishes Document TM and this is prepared and forwarded on
to you for checking and approval. If
this meets with your requirements, we will arrange for the document to be
engrossed and three copies forwarded to you for your safekeeping.
If you would like to make any amendments at the
draft stage this is, of course, possible and the document will only be engrossed
when you are fully satisfied that the contents reflect your wishes.
WHERE
DO I KEEP THE WISHES DOCUMENT?
As part of the package, we will supply you with
three copies of your Wishes Document TM.
We will not, for reasons of confidentiality, retain
copies of your document ourselves either in paper or electronic (computer)
format.
It is suggested that you discuss your Wishes
Document TM with your loved ones and retain one copy safely at home
where they know where to find it, if necessary. A further copy should be filed with your Will and the final copy,
perhaps with your Solicitor, Bank or other Professional. Of course, as with all of this, the choice is
yours.
You may find that after a while, you wish to change
your Wishes Document TM. This
is not a problem, contact us and have a copy of your original Document
available and we will make all necessary amendments for you. This is part of our updating service and can
be carried out at any time.
