YOUR GUIDE TO A FUNERAL
Introduction We expect that the death of a close family member or friend will be emotionally distressing. This is normal and natural. It is only human nature to put unpleasant thoughts out of our minds - to talk or think of the inevitable end-of-life is perhaps the greatest of these. Unfortunately the result is that, when death does occur, a partner, relative or friend can be totally unprepared for the event and unaware of the many practical decisions that need to be made. This publication is intended as an informative booklet to assist those who at some time will be concerned with arranging a funeral. It is not exhaustive but indicates the procedure and documentation likely to be involved, along with other useful information and suggestions.
