We need to talk about the funeral

"It has all the information you need. It is also rather inspiring." Lesley Garner. Daily Telegraph

This book, a practical and imaginative guide of 101 helpful ideas, gives you the information and support you need to

• arrange a funeral which could only be for that special person
• manage your relationship with the funeral director to get just what you want
• avoid spending money on things you don't really need. Using the unique Funeral Director Quote Form and price guidelines could save you hundreds of pounds
• make your choices about how to say your final farewells in the time leading up to the funeral
• decide where and when you want the funeral to take place, what type of coffin you want and who will conduct the ceremony
• create a handmade and personal ceremony that honours the person who has died and comforts and inspires those who are left behind

"The text is a triumph of clarity and quietly expert, informed advice. It makes the reader feel guided by someone who knows from experience but wants you to find your own way." Professor Malcolm Johnson, The Centre for Death and Society.
