Living Fully, Leaving Ready

“Live Life To The Fullest!” is a phrase often heard of. At the other end of the spectrum though, are we ready to leave this life?

Singaporeans still shun the idea of pre-planning their funerals. However, people who think this way often miss out on the extensive benefits attached to proper planning. Pre-planning do not just cover funerals. They cover a whole range of other services like:

• Advanced Medical Directives and Lasting Powers of Attorney
• Wills Writing
• Letters of Administration

Pre-planning often prevents many unwanted scenarios that might potentially happen. It not only helps to avoid family disputes but also often relieve the living of the stress associated with making decisions on behalf of the deceased’s personal matters.

Do ponder upon these questions while pre-planning for your own funeral:

• What coffin design and color would you prefer?
• Which type of flowers do you like to have at your very own funeral? Are they of a specific color and size?
• Any specific songs to be played at your own funeral?
• Would you like to have anything in particular to be displayed at your own funeral?
• Any special theme to adhere to?
• Would you like to publish an obituary?
• How do you want your remains to be dealt with? A burial, cremation or sea burial?
• Have you chosen an image for your funeral portrait?
• Any other special requests?

Try to be as creative and as specific as possible. It is your very own funeral, so the onus is on you to make it a memorable one.
