Whether you’re in Accra, Kumasi, or abroad, these resources bring structure and transparency so you can focus on honouring your loved one with dignity. 

What’s included (free)

• Concise Funeral Checklist – the essentials for the first days and key decisions.

• Comprehensive Funeral Checklist – every phase from documentation to one-year memorial.

• Funeral Budget Planner – compare Budget A (modest), B (medium), C (elaborate), then see a dashboard summary.

• Funeral Expense Tracker – record real costs and income; produce a clear family report.

“The checklist really guided us step by step, so we didn’t forget anything.” — Akosua, Accra

“The budget tool gave us clarity and helped us avoid overspending.” — Kwame, Kumasi

“It made a very difficult process feel more organised and respectful.” — Ama, London. 

Why we built it

Funerals in Ghana can become complex and costly. Families need a common plan, shared numbers, and clear roles—especially when relatives are coordinating across time zones. The Budget Planner and Expense Tracker help set expectations early and report transparently later; the checklists keep everyone aligned from the first days through the Thanksgiving service and one-year memorial. 

• Designed for Ghana, ready for the diaspora

• Culturally grounded structure (one-week, wake-keeping, service, burial, thanksgiving).

• Diaspora-friendly coordination (shareable files, simple steps).

• Provider discovery via Ghana Funeral Services categories when you need caterers, printers, canopies, transport, and more.

How the financial tools work (at a glance):

Budget Planner (estimate & compare)

• Enter expected costs across categories (logistics, catering, printing, burial, etc.).

• Compare A/B/C budgets side-by-side and get an automatic dashboard of totals and balance. 

Expense Tracker (actuals & reporting)

• Record actual expenses & income (insurance, church support, workplace donations, nsawa, and your Ghana Memorial Donation Link).

• View a summary that compares budget vs. actuals and provides a shareable report for the family. 

Tip: If you’re also launching a Ghana Memorial, you can activate the Donation Link on the memorial page so relatives can contribute from anywhere, then reconcile those inflows inside the Expense Tracker.
