    Episode 4 - Funeral Planning

    In episode four of The Leaving Plan, I’m joined by Nick and Jacqui from White Rose Modern Funerals in Twickenham. Together, we explore the positive changes happening within the funeral industry and how much more personal, thoughtful, and creative funerals can be today. Nick and Jacqui share their experience, knowledge, and practical tips on how to start open conversations about funeral planning, wishes, and ideas, without fear or awkwardness. As always, this conversation focuses on the admin of death planning. If you are currently experiencing bereavement or living with a terminal illness, you have my deepest condolences. My intention is never to cause upset or distress, but to help people feel more confident having these conversations rather than avoiding them out of fear, embarrassment, or discomfort. If you do listen, and I truly hope you do, there’s a moment towards the end where Nick talks about natural burials - You’ll hear birdsong in the background, and nowhere else in the episode. It made me smile, so I wanted to share that with you.  Because even though we have a very positive conversation, a few tears were shed as I was editing it. I hope my conversation with Nick and Jacqui helps encourage those important, sometimes difficult conversations with friends and family. And please remember: there are so many fresh, beautiful, and meaningful options available now, far removed from the old Victorian model of funeral parlours and services.
