Funeral wishes form

Use this document to state what arrangements you'd like to be made for your funeral and for other related arrangements (e.g. funeral service, reception or memorial service).

You can make detailed requests, such as (in relation to a funeral service) what readings and music you would like, where you want the service to be held and who you want to lead it.

You can also log decisions about organ or body donation.

If you're in Scotland, you can make an 'arrangements on death declaration' about who you want to be responsible for your funeral arrangements. Without this, the law makes this decision for you.
