Hopefully this thread will prove useful to others too.
There are understandably plenty of threads on here discussing methods and some that discuss notes.
But what about planning for what happens in the immediate aftermath?
In my specific case the reason I ask this is because I have a particular set of circumstances that I want to prepare for.
1. My family have only ever been emotionally abusive towards me: gaslighting me and pulling me down at every opportunity.
I do not want any of them at my funeral.
How can I ensure this?
I've thought about forming a Facebook messenger group consisting of people I trust and telling them of my wishes closer to the time.
But isn't that placing an enormous burden on them?
And what's to stop my family just taking over the situation?
2. I may have a little bit of money that can be put towards a funeral/headstone.
How do I go about passing it on to someone I trust?
I can't just message them saying "I'm going to take my own life, can I have your bank details so I can give you money towards funeral costs?" because they might intervene.
At the very least I would expect the police to be called.
Equally I can't just leave cash somewhere because this will surely be handed to my family by default?
