Help and support
We have created a library of support guides to help you find answers to your questions about planning a funeral for yourself or a loved one.
At The Farewell Guide, we are here to support you and your family with organising and booking a funeral. When you need a funeral now or soon this funeral is known as an ‘at need funeral’.
Through our free platform, you can book a funeral for yourself in advance, or for a loved one when the time comes.

Rebecca, our founder, dedicates the concept of
The Farewell Guide
to her Auntie Kathy. After the tragic loss of her Aunt, she helped her young family navigate this awful time. It allowed Rebecca to witness first hand the difficulties of dealing with a funeral, finances and family grief. The process of organising a funeral had to be changed, and this is how The Farewell Guide was born. “Kathy lit up so many people’s lives. This tool will help thousands of families through the toughest moments of their lives: celebrating those that have lived, and creating lasting legacies for future generations. For every family that The Farewell Guide helps, my hope is that a part of my auntie’s spirit continues to shine through.”
In loving memory of Kathleen Kenny
