Planning Ahead
Thinking about and planning your funeral can feel very difficult, and some people prefer not to talk about it. Letting people know about any wishes can relieve your friends and family of some of the stress of organising your funeral, and can provide reassurance to those close to you that they are celebrating your life in the way you wanted.
Planning Your Own Funeral
At Donoghue Funeral Directors we have been helping people plan ahead for decades. There is many ways to plan a funeral in Ireland or overseas to suit your requirements financially and gives you peace of mind. Planning your own funeral gives your family and friends the opportunity to be spared the burden of having to make funeral arrangements during a difficult time. Planning ahead will enable you to customise to every detail, ensuring that when the time comes your exact wishes will be carried out, reducing the pressure on your loved ones.
Over recent years, the level of choice available to people arranging a funeral has vastly increased. Not only do people now have the choice of a religious or civil funeral, burial or cremation, but they also have a range of choices in relation to how the funeral is conducted, who takes part, the type of coffin and so on. And to make sure that your choices do not become confusing, it is our job to make sure that you have the information you need to make the right decisions which best reflect your wishes.
Increase in Cemetery charges or additional costs which are generally increased on an annual basis and are outside the control of the Donoghue undertakers. It is recommended that a copy of the funeral plan is placed with your solicitor for safe keeping. Donoghue undertakers are here to help you prepay your funeral costs.
