How do I tell family and friends my end of life wishes?

We understand that the topic of end-of-life can be difficult to address with family and friends. As a society, the conversation around death has improved over the past few decades, as people become more comfortable talking about life and death, and everything in between. From pre-planning a funeral to discussing organ donation, more families are having open discussions. This makes their lives easier if anything unexpected were to happen.

Firstly, consider your planning a gift that you are giving your loved ones to ease their grief and mourning, without having to focus on logistics. Start with telling them whether you prefer burial or cremation. We also encourage you to state your wishes in or with your will, so your loved ones remember your intentions and are at peace knowing your wishes were respected.
