Peace of Mind Through Planning Ahead

Planning ahead for one-day arrangements is not a topic most people rush to discuss,

but it’s one of the most meaningful acts of care you can offer to the loved ones you leave behind. By making these decisions in advance, you relieve your family of the stress of guessing your wishes and ensure that your arrangements align with your values and beliefs.

Why Plan Ahead?

Life is unpredictable, but planning ahead gives you a sense of control and peace of mind. Whether it’s choosing a natural burial or outlining the type of ceremony you’d like, this foresight creates clarity and comfort for your loved ones during a difficult time.

When you take the time to consider your options now, you can:

Reduce Stress: Spare your family the emotional and financial burden of making rushed decisions.

Ensure Your Wishes Are Honoured: From the location to the ceremony, your choices will reflect who you are.

Make Environmentally Friendly Decisions: Opt for natural and sustainable alternatives, like a burial that gives back to the earth.

What Does Planning Ahead Involve?

Planning ahead can be as detailed or as simple as you’d like. At Leedam Natural Burials, we’ve created a Planning Ahead Guide to help you navigate this process with ease. Some key steps include:

Choose Your Preferred Burial Ground
Visit the site, explore its beauty, and decide if it feels right for you. Each of our natural burial grounds offers unique landscapes and settings, from woodlands to meadows. Once you know which burial ground you prefer, get in touch with us or simply apply online.

Document Your Wishes
Whether it’s the type of burial, specific readings, or music you’d like at your farewell, writing down your preferences helps ensure they’re followed. You can keep it altogether in our “For when I die” downloadable document.

Secure Your Plot
Reserving a burial plot in advance gives you peace of mind and ensures there’s a place just for you.

Discuss with Loved Ones
Open conversations about your choices can alleviate future misunderstandings and ensure everyone is on the same page.
