About the family
When I visit you to plan the details of the funeral,
it will be useful to know the structure of the family, especially if the family is a large one.
Very often, this information is used either at the start of a service / ceremony,
or later during a time of reflection or prayer.
Some families want to mention just a few key members of the family,
others mention almost everyone across the generations, sometimes important friends too,
while others prefer not to mention anyone at all.
It will be entirely your choice who is mentioned or not;
the same applies for when you would like anyone's name mentioned.
It's worth writing down all the members of the wider family before I pay my visit,
so that we have even more time to spend discussing the funeral itself.
I've prepared a form that you can download and print,
which will both save you time and be a good memory prompt
at a time when you have so many other things to think about.
You can choose between a PDF version, or a Word document; they are identical.

Once you've completed it, keep it handy for my visit.
If you prefer not to make a family list just yet, and to wait until I visit,
that's fine, and we can note all the necessary details together at that point.
