Setting Out Your Funeral
Make your farewell truly your own. Whether you’ve thought about specific songs, a type of service, or just want to keep things simple, writing down your funeral wishes gives clarity to loved ones and peace of mind for you.
Your Life, Your Wishes
What Are Funeral Wishes?
Funeral wishes are a simple but important way to let your loved ones know how you’d like your funeral to be handled. Whether you have preferences for music, location, readings, or something more personal, setting out your wishes means your voice is still part of the day, even if you’re no longer here to speak it.
At Deborah Mitchell Independent Funeral Services in Washington, we help individuals document and store their funeral wishes with sensitivity and clarity. You don’t need to plan every detail, unless you want to. It’s about giving guidance, removing guesswork, and helping your family feel confident in the choices they make on your behalf.
We’ll talk you through what’s possible, what you might want to consider, and how best to record your wishes in a way that makes things simpler later on.

Keep It Simple or Go Into Detail
Your Plan, Your Way
Some people like to choose music, flowers, or even the tone of the day. Others prefer to write down just a few important preferences that help guide their family.

We will compile your wishes and placed in a folder for you to keep alongside your other important documents at home or can be shared directly with your family. Either way, the important thing is that your voice is heard. A signed copy of your wishes is also safely stored at our premises for peace of mind knowing that a back up copy is available if ever required.
