Organising a funeral for someone you love is difficult. Complicated decisions have to be made in a very limited time.
Burial or cremation? Religious or secular service? Flowers or donation to a charity? In the family vault or somewhere else? What clothing? What music? What text, etc.?
Why impose such a burden on your family?
At A&G we firmly believe that getting ahead of this is essential. Communicating your last wishes helps to take the load off your loved ones, and to avoid hard choices, stress and conflict. By putting together a file in advance, you will bring a little serenity at a time that is already charged with emotion.
Making your arrangements ahead of time, when everything is going well, allows you to explore the options and plan for the future. Organ donation, palliative care, therapeutic obstinacy, euthanasia: without any taboos, we answer all your questions and provide you with the official documents.
Your advisor will also discuss with you a whole range of services and partners to enable you to have an end of life that you create and communicate.
So why wait? A simple declaration is enough, and it is free of charge.
Yes, although it depends on the regulations in force in your municipality. We will inform and help you if you wish to do so.
Contact us and check if the dead person was insured. We will check how to organise the repatriation from or to Belgium and organise the funeral in Belgium.
If the dead person owns a good, you have to contact a solicitor. Otherwise, the justice of peace decision is enough.
