My name is Eugene Matthias, I am a funeral celebrant.

It was only when I lost my mother that I realised how little I knew about her life.

Together with the help of other celebrants we founded 'Create My Legacy' to help and support families. 
Now days many people plan ahead and take out insurance to cover the cost of their funeral.

But very few think about planning their funeral ahead of time.
​
​It's easy to do and takes all the stress away from your loved ones. 

So what happens?

​Imagine you’re sitting in on your own funeral family visit, the Celebrant is taking notes.

You haven’t left funeral instructions and family don’t know what you want for your funeral service.

When it comes to your Eulogy each has different memories about your life. There are big gaps missing, they don’t know what your life was like as a child, a teenager, adult or before you got married.

In fact they themselves have no real memory about family life until they were 4 or 5 years old. 

Loved ones become distressed, upset and at the funeral, your eulogy is sadly incomplete. Many elements of your life lost forever.

Your loved ones will never know the true story of YOU

Why Plan Ahead?

FACT!
​Arranging a funeral is very stressful
When the time comes your family will meet with a funeral minister or celebrant. The meeting will last around one to two hours.

Family will be asked to -
  1. Produce an Order of Service for the funeral director.
  2. Agree the structure for your funeral service.
  3. Decide on music for the Entrance - Reflection time - Exit
  4. What to include - Poems, Readings, Prayers, Hymn etc.
  5. Who will be making a contribution.
  6. They will have to build a Eulogy.
  7. Decide on a design for the Order of Service.
  8. Approve the complete funeral service.​
  9. Agree on flowers & donations and much, much more.

​Don't let your loved ones go through all the pain


Planning brings families together and gives everyone complete peace of mind knowing
in advance what their parents want for their funeral.

Most importantly, when the time comes, they do not have to worry about a thing as everything has been done.

​They can focus on their own grief.

​I say - 'Your Funeral Done Your Way'

No-one knows you better than you​

Who knows your life story best and who’s best placed to choose the stories to tell and those to leave out?

The answer, of course, is YOU.

Why leave your funeral arrangements until after you’ve gone.
Giving your next of kin only a matter of days to organise the ceremony?

We know funerals and we know families. We understand the grieving process and it’s our mission to support families through this most difficult of times.

We will hold your hand and use our experience to guide you through writing up your funeral instructions. Then help you produce your Eulogy and finally plan and write up your complete bespoke funeral service for your approval.
