After reading Jason Cherrington’s recent blog post The Funeral Plan Whats The Point it got me thinking about the similarities between the role of real-world funeral directors and what we do to ensure peoples wishes for their online legacy’s are carried out.
For the funeral director, whose work involves a highly complex and sympathetic set of skills, the funeral is a method whereby the needs of the family are performed in accordance with local statutes and historical law.

Just the same as thinking about making a Will, thinking about and planning your funeral can be a daunting task. Let’s face it nobody likes thinking about their own mortality.
However planning ahead brings peace of mind a basic principle I learnt a long time ago which can be applied to all aspects of one’s life. The Five P’s (proper, planning, prevents, poor, performance).

According to the Law Society in the United Kingdom, roughly one in three people die without a legal will in place and therefore die intestate. Dying without a will in place is a something all adults, especially those with children should avoid.

Why would using a professional trustee be a good move?
In previous blog posts I have talked about the differences between standard Wills versus Wills and Trusts One of the reasons that people set up a Will directing the proceeds of their estate into Trust is to protect the estate from potential inheritance tax costs and to reduce the risk of their home being sold to pay for care fees. The aim of this article is to provide further information to those of you that have taken the route of a putting an estate plan in place, utilising both Wills and Trusts.

Do Yo Have Happy Customers?
Customer service is a subject that I am very passionate about. It is something that was installed in me at a very young age. Born out of the great feeling of well-being that comes from the sense of feeling valued and appreciated. Being made to feel like an individual and not just a number is very important to me.
