Hi Dee and thank you for your post.

I'm sorry to read about your situation . This must be an incredible difficult time for you and I appreciate you wanting to put your affairs in order.

The government has a website that provides information on how to make a will, which may offer you some helpful ideas. Additionally, many charities   offer free will writing services, but they may request a small donation or legacy in return for this service.

Maire Curie   has useful tips and advice on how to plan your own funeral.

If you prefer not to have a funeral, you can choose direct cremation or burial. Alternatively, you may choose to donate your body to science, and

 a funeral will be held afterward by the medical school.

I hope this helps a little and the links above are useful.

Please get back to us if you need any more information or support. You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Kind regards

Tina
