The Wake

If you're planning a wake but need a little help with planning or on-the-day logistics, use this template to let everyone know what they can do to help. Whether it's monetary donations, giving time or sharing skills, everyone can show their love and support. Just customise this template with your own images and words and send the link out to friends and family so they can help you to celebrate the life of a loved one.
