Many people wish to plan their funerals in advance, and want to know that they have set aside the money to pay for them.

A letter can be left with a will specifying the arrangements for the next of kin to follow. You can also discuss arrangements with funeral directors in advance. This could be useful if there are no immediate relatives who will be available to make arrangements. The name of the funeral director can then be kept in a safe place with other important documents, such as the Will. Some funeral directors will accept payment in advance.
