Linda and her husband Stephen took early funeral planning steps to help ease any future stress
As an only child, Linda Charlton was left to make the funeral arrangements for her parents when they died.
But as they had never spoken to her about their funeral wishes, the 60-year-old had to make those decisions for them. Now Linda is determined that history won’t repeat itself.
“I made funeral arrangements for both my parents without really knowing what they wanted, which spurred me on to make my own plans,” said Linda, a retired accounts clerk from Newcastle.
“No one wants to leave loved ones with financial worries or have them second guessing what type of funeral to organise.”
