TIME TO TALK: Discuss your funeral wishes with a family member | Gateway Funerals
There is an understandable tendency among us all to live from day to day, dealing with what life and work send our way and probably looking forward no farther than the coming weekend.

We will look ahead to plan our holiday, perhaps, but how many of us have sat down and anticipated what our funeral might be like?

While no-one will pretend it is an easy subject to approach, nevertheless it could prove to be one of the best conversations any of us might have.

Recent figures from Sun Life suggested almost one in five people had no idea of any of their loved one’ s funeral wishes, an additional source of stress at an already very difficult time.

So imagine the comfort and confidence to be gained from establishing these things now, to ensure the final farewell is just as they would have wished.

Gateway Funeral Services is always ready to talk in advance about funeral arrangements for you or a loved one, which can then, if you wish, be incorporated into a pre-paid plan.

Gateway’ s Lucy Hitchcock said: “One of the main reasons we find for people taking out a plan is that they can arrange the funeral they want, rather than leaving difficult decisions regarding their wishes with their family.

“Doing that removes a big source of uncertainty and, in many cases, regret both at the time and afterwards.

“As the old telephone advert said, it’ s good to talk – and if you do it now it will be a huge weight off everyone’ s shoulders.

“We will be happy to share in these discussions, to guide and give information, but it’ s your choice and we will do all we can to meet your wishes.”

Gateway offers a wide range of pre-paid funeral plans to suit all preferences and budgets.
