Welcome to the Good Funeral Guide
The Good Funeral Guide, an independent consumer guide to funerals, will be a book and a website – this website.
The project will go live when Continuum Books publish the print version of the Guide in May 2010.
The Good Funeral Guide will tell you everything you need to know and everything you need to do when someone dies. It will inform you speedily, efficiently, matter-of-factly and thoroughly. It will enable you to:
- decide how the body of your dead person will be cared for and who will do it
- make informed choices about products and services
- get best value for money
- read reviews of best funeral directors
- create a meaningful and memorable funeral ceremony
- create an end-of-life plan
- acquire some background information about death and dying, and find out where to learn more.
Above all, The Good Funeral Guide will put you in charge.
If you are arranging a funeral, you need advice now. On this website you will find some useful information – plus a topical, provocative blog.
And I am here for you. Please don’t hesitate to contact me. If you would like this to be a confidential communication I shall respect that.
What do you need to know? Have you any questions about funerals you would like to ask me? Would you like me to help you find a good funeral director? I offer all consultation and advice free of charge.
Do you have a good funeral experience to share? Or a bad one?
Is there a particularly good or an especially bad funeral director you would like to tell me about? A brilliant celebrant? A not-so-good one?
Do you have views about funerals and the funeral industry that you would like to share?
Do you want to plan your own funeral?
Email me. Or ring me. My phone number is: 07787 160 786. This is a mobile number. As soon as I know yours is not a sales call I will give you my landline number.
I look forward to speaking to you.
