To anyone considering a direct cremation please reconsider, you can choose a family only no fuss cremation with a local funeral business for roughly the same costs with your wishes sorted in advance if you don't want as I've been reading to bother your loved ones. 10/6 disposal day is the only way to describe how awful it was for me a daughter who adored and loved her mum, the grief hits hard 3 year's today I'm still lost in grief no celebrations no family get together just emptiness..So please remember the people left behind xx take care. 💜💜💜🦋💜💜💜😪

I think you should have a delayed Wake on her honour.

Book a room somewhere, get a projector with photos, invite anyone that knew her.

I'll be having a direct cremation. It'll be all paid for and set. But I'll also leave a little money to my daughter to either plan a little gathering or to spend on herself for something to remember me.by.

I'd like my loved ones to celebrate my life with a get together after my DC.

Lots of photos, wine, memories and laughter please, no weeping.
