Looking Forward To Your Funeral has been welcomed by senior people involved in end-of-life care, bereavement and funereal arrangements:

“An irreverent but useful guide to communicating your wishes for your funeral to those you might find it most difficult to discuss it with or to simply organise your own thoughts in good time”

– Paul Cronin, Chief Executive, Severn Hospice, Shrewsbury UK

“This publication takes a lovely ‘light-hearted’ look at the area of funeral ministry which so many people tend to shy away from. In my experience as an ordained priest in the Church of England for 25 years, I frequently come across people who have no idea as to the desires of their departed loved one. I would commend this book to you and would encourage you to look at it with your family over a meal or drink together”

– Revd Wayne Lautenbach, Vicar, Parish of Prenton, Wirral UK

“Although many people are becoming more comfortable discussing dying and their end of life wishes, as a nation too many of us are still shunning the conversations that can help avoid heartbreak and regret at the end of life. You don’t have to be ill or dying to make plans for your future, which is why planning ahead, for example by thinking about what sort of funeral you would like, can make a real difference”

– Joe Levenson, Director of Communications,

  Dying Matters Coalition and National Council for Palliative Care, London

“Looking Forward To Your Funeral“ is a thoughtful, practical guide to planning what will be positively our final appearance! To have a clear record of what we would like will comfort our families and let our voice be heard through the formalities. It has encouraged me to plan now, calmly, while the inevitable is not yet imminent”

– Dr Fleur Fisher, Lately Head of Ethics, Science and Information at the British Medical Association
