We plan for different milestones in our lives \u2013 weddings, careers and even retirement. Planning for our final goodbye makes just as much sense.<\/p>\n
However, it can be hard to know where to start, particularly with legal and financial institutions regularly adapting to suit our ever-changing world.<\/p>\n
Having the right information can assist us in leaving our loved ones with a well-planned process following death.<\/p>\n
To help educate the community, Tuckers Funeral and Bereavement Service along with Succession Legal are hosting a free information session as part of Geelong\u2019s Seniors Month.<\/p>\n
Covering a wide range of topics, presenters will discuss topics relating to legal matters and funeral care, including changes to powers of attorney and the introduction of pay by instalments prepaid funeral plans.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery day we see how important these conversations are for families,\u201d Alyson Burchell from Tuckers said.<\/p>\n
\u201cTalking about funerals really helps people to make informed choices.\u201d<\/p>\n
When considering funeral care, previous generations had fewer choices to make. They would rely on family traditions, both cultural and religious, to guide the funeral care process.<\/p>\n
Today there are many ways to express the loss of a loved one and these choices can make us question what our funeral personal requests and preferences would be.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is an option to suit everyone, we understand every funeral plan isunique to each person\u2019s personality and offer a range of services tailored to suit individual needs,\u201d Ms Burchell said.<\/p>\n
