View detailsAdditional planning support
Keep important wishes clear and accessible
A will records how you want your estate handled after your death and names the people who will carry out those wishes.
Final Embrace Funerals offers a basic will-writing and secure storage service for people with straightforward needs.
A will is a legal document. Independent legal advice may be appropriate where an estate, family structure, business, trust, overseas asset or other circumstance is complex.
