France Family Funerals and their caring staff are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to answer any questions you may have relating to funeral services, free of charge and with no obligation. At France Family Funerals we adhere to traditional family values and combine the highest standards of professionalism with caring and familiar service.

A funeral service is a very personal thing and no two funerals are the same. Each person and their family must decide what their own personal preferences and tributes should be. To help families 'prepare' for funeral arrangements, France Family Funerals offers Funeral Pre-Planning, Pre-Arranging, and Pre-Paying advice as a service to our community

By pre-arranging your own funeral, you will relieve your family and friends of financial and emotional stress after your death. In addition your can orchestrate your funeral according to your wishes and financial means. Pre-arranging your funeral involves making decisions about issues that are important to you including but not limited to:

* Costing level
* Name of the Funeral Director
* Burial or cremation
* Type of service
* Venue
* Celebrant or Religious Official
* Type of casket
* Who is to speak
* Charitable donations

We provide pre-arranged funeral services free of charge to you and we have the expertise to guide you through the funeral details and provide you with estimated costs. You need to inform your family or trusted friends where this document is kept. Often couples make their arrangements together. If you are single you may wish to discuss the matter with adult children or close friends. Arranging your own funeral in great detail can be emotionally draining. Leave some of the detail for others to decide.

It can help mourners to be involved in the funeral arrangements. A funeral pre-arranged with a funeral director is not binding, and sometimes relatives want to alter it. If you wish it to be binding, refer to the arrangement in your will and make financial provision for it. Your executor will then see that the pre-arrangement is followed.


Reasons for Pre-Arranging a Funeral

Most of us put our affairs in order by making or updating a will but often neglect the inevitable funeral event. You can ensure that your funeral requirements are met by partly or fully pre-arranging your funeral.

* Spare family the distress of organising a funeral when exhausted & shocked
