“So many people plan their lives, but that conversation takes place after your death without giving you a voice.' My Farewell Wishes seeks to give people a chance to plan their own funerals.

My Farewell Wishes seeks to give people “a voice in the conversations that happen after you pass away”.

Those who wish to plan their funeral can contact a funeral director connected to My Farewell Wishes and begin the process of making decisions.Somebody who you nominated has those wishes and is told about them, so when that time comes, it takes out the hassle, confusion and arguments among family members making decisions.”The planning is “very much dependent on the amount funds someone has in their estate”, Mr Kieran explained.

It costs €65 to register your farewell wishes – and you can start a minimum €300 trust fund to cover the costs of the ceremony.Mr Kieran said someone’s executor is responsible for ensuring the wishes are met and costs aren’t cut to give family members more inheritance.“We're very superstitious when it comes to funeral arrangements so when they get farewell wishes they tend to stick with them,” he said.

“One thing that we noticed when people get the chance to plan, they go for quite simple arrangements – quite simple coffins,” he said.
