It is a fact of life that death is inevitable so we might as
well actively plan for it by writing a Will. You will have peace of
mind knowing that upon your demise your loved ones will be provided
for as you intended.
Apart from having a Will it is important to discuss your burial
wishes with your loved ones. You may have indicated in your Will
that you wish to be buried or cremated but this is not enough. You
have to make your wishes known to your loved ones and close
relatives. This is because your family may go ahead and make
funeral arrangements prior to the reading of your Will. In
addition, your choice of burial wishes may not sit well with your
family members. For example, cremation is considered a taboo in the
African culture, yet the truth of the matter is that more people
are opting for cremation as a choice of interment.
