Can I plan my own funeral?

Yes, you can plan your own funeral by documenting your preferences in a Funeral Directive or as part of your last wishes. This can include details like the type of service you want, music selections, who you'd like to speak or attend, and whether you prefer burial or cremation.


While your loved ones will likely do their best to honor your wishes, some details may not be possible to carry out exactly as planned. That’s why it’s helpful to focus on what matters most to you—and to clearly communicate those priorities in writing.
