We've been mentioned! 🔽   In an article by Wellbeing News, about how more of us want to be there for our own funerals.    Our recent research showed that 71% of us have already considered, to some extent, how we want our funeral to be. But a further 29% of us are interested in having a funeral while we are there for it, with more than a quarter of adults considering living funerals. “Historically, living funerals would be more commonly held for people who are terminally ill as a way to be present and say their goodbyes in their own way. What’s interesting is that our study has found that more UK adults are interested in being there for their own funeral, regardless of their age or health status.” Alix Baldwin, director of Funeral Choice Find out more about the study and read the article here: https://lnkd.in/eu4gY5Fc Or find out more about Funeral Choice: https://lnkd.in/ebYx7awD #FuneralChoice #Funeral #Funerals #LivingFuneral #FuneralService #FuneralDirector #FuneralCelebrant
