Will be done?

Because family discord can so easily arise over ‘it’s what Mum would have wanted’ (for example), a clear will is one of the best inheritances we can offer our grieving loved ones.

Are you looking to appoint trustees, a single inheritor or donate to charity? What music would you like played at your funeral, which flowers would appeal? You might even have wishes no one would ever guess – for example, Hunter S Thompson wanted his ashes to be shot from a cannon!

However straight-forward or complicated our wishes may be, it pays to consult the experts. Organisations such as the Citizens Advice Bureau, churches and even funeral directors can recommend local lawyers who specialise in wills and estates.

Discussing funerals and death is never easy but working through this process with reassuring and approachable professionals helps put people at ease. Families place considerable trust in funeral directors at an extremely difficult time and, fortunately, this region is privileged to have the services of long-standing and reputable companies offering practical and emotional support.

Flexible and culturally sensitive, local directors can help with suggestions for venues, caskets, flowers, service details, brochures and more. They can deliver advice concerning ways in which to involve family and friends in services, and special burial or cremation requests are often welcomed too. Those in need of professional, yet dignified, assistance after a death in the family don’t have far to turn for help.
