This is the first contemporary, practical guide that covers all aspects of planning a memorable service.

It deals in a fitting and sensitive manner with all the options and possibilities for services and ceremonies, provides an up-to-date guide on the costs, and above all helps make life much easier for family, friends, and loved ones. Complete with real life stories, practical ideas and uplifting photographs, this beautiful book speaks to the heart, sensitively offering the information and inspiration we need at a time of grief and vulnerability. Most people faced with arranging a funeral don't know what they don't know. Written by experienced funeral advisers, it covers all aspects of funerals in order to give you as much choice and participation as you feel you want, including: how much everything costs and how to make plans and arrangements; ideas to help you during the time leading up to the funeral; burial, cremation, green funerals, coffins, venues and memorialisation; and the elements of a good funeral ceremony.
