No you are not weird!! It may come as a surprise to some of you, but more and more, people are planning their own funerals.  From planning the music to knowing exactly what is going to be said.  Though this may sound strange, it really isn’t, some people find great comfort in knowing that the funeral ceremony they are going to have, is perfectly right for them, this is especially the case when a terminal diagnosis has been given.

It can also help those left behind who already have much to do, at a time when they are usually confused and deeply upset.   Knowing that they don’t have to arrange all the details of the funeral and that their loved one is getting a fitting, accurate and respectful funeral ceremony, can be very comforting for them.  This doesn’t mean that they won’t be able to add to a ceremony or be involved with the planning, some people also find this to be helpful.
