Sorry for your loss.
Indeed my father in law passed away suddenly 3 weeks ago, my wife was landed with the job of sorting everything out, it made me write a plan for my funeral. Hopefully a long way of as i'm only 43.
He would have gone ballistic if he knew how much was spent on flowers for him, he was very tight with his cash..
Very sorry to hear of your loss Stuart - Thoughts are with you.
Stuart, my thoughts are with you. I lost my Father last year after suffering brain damage and I had to gain Power of Attorney and thus had so much to sort out, inc Funeral. I struggled with home life and business for a long, long time. I can totally sympathise. Just do what you think he would like and don't let too many people stick their noses in.
I hope you manage to sort things out Stuart,
For those who might be considering making a will, take a look at the link below

it makes things a whole lot easier.
Yes, sincere condolences, Stuart, at what must be a raw time for you still.
My father's will was declared intestate, because his executor, an old schoolmate (a solicitor of all people :)) had signed the will without the event being witnessed! Nightmare ensued, and lasted for a very long time.
We all think popping our clogs early "is something that happens to others", but it doesn't always. Sound advice in the OP, be prepared for your nearest and dearest's sake, make it easier for them; never too early to plan your will and funeral arrangements. [Note to self :) ]
Very good advice, something we all should keep up to date just in case. It's a horrible job arranging a funeral, but leaving clear ideas as to what you want is so important. I'm sure you'll do him proud.
It's well worth keeping a list of all your bank accounts, insurances, pensions, basically everything, in one place. I've had to administer a will and it was incredibly easy as everything was detailed in a single box file. The only time I ever appreciated my Grandfather's attention to detail!
So sorry to hear about your loss Stuart. Have been there myself - twice. My father died having left a will (but it couldn't be found) and we had to apply for letters of adminstration. My parents in law died within days of each other, no instructions were left for the funeral which meant that a huge family row started between my husbands sisters as to what they thought would be wanted and to this day certain members of the family don't speak to each other. Last thing you need when you are feeling the pain of bereavment is to be trying to sort such things out - a timely reminder Stuart and thanks for the link Geoffrey.
Thanks for all the kind words. I have never felt grief like this before. All the arrangements are now made, just have to wait in limbo now for the funeral on Friday.
My will and funeral arrangements will be done very soon.
Sorry for your loss mate...
