Sample estate — demo data, no sign-up.
MFI — Funeral planning (richer v4)
Springboard: ../public/49-funeral-planning.html. Richer: wishes captured warmly, prepaid-plan record, people-to-inform, share-with-family, plus one quiet tax aside (funeral costs are deductible from the estate before IHT). Sensitive tone throughout.
♥ Take your time with this one. This page takes a bit of courage to fill in, and there's no rush at all. Some people do it all at once; others come back to it bit by bit. Whatever you record here is a gift to your family — one less hard decision for them to make at a hard time.
✓ You've recorded a few of your wishes so far. Everything saves on its own as you go — you can always add more later.
These are the things families most often wish they'd known. Answer the ones that feel right; leave the rest.

Paid in full
We only keep a record of your plan. MyFamilyInherits doesn’t sell, recommend or arrange funeral plans, and isn’t authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority to do so. In the UK, pre-paid funeral plans are regulated by the FCA — if you’re thinking of buying one, go to the provider directly and check they’re authorised on the FCA Register.
A rough figure is plenty. It helps your family and your executors know what you had in mind.
🧾
A quiet, helpful note. Reasonable funeral costs are taken off the value of the estate before inheritance tax is worked out. Recording the expected cost here means your executors can claim it later — so the money your family inherits isn't taxed on what was spent saying goodbye.

A few gentle, optional questions
These are entirely optional, and many people skip them. If you'd rather not think about this today, that's completely fine — you can always come back.

Built on INHERIT v2

This demo is built on INHERIT v2 — an open standard for describing an estate. We show you honestly which parts of this screen the standard can hold today, which are planned, and which are still gaps.

  • Supported now0 entriesThe standard already has a place for this today.
  • Supported now · shared core0 entriesSupported by the part of the standard shared across our brands.
  • Planned1 entriesA change proposal covers this. Where we can check the standard’s own record, we show its status.
  • Gap — needs planning1 entriesOn the screen, but no change proposal covers it yet. These still need planning.
  • Not a standard concept0 entriesPage furniture, or something we decided the standard should not hold.

2 traced entries on this screen, from two overlapping traces

Each entry comes from either the screen’s feature list or the data the screen displays. The two traces overlap, so one feature can appear twice: these are entries, not a count of distinct features.

  • Gap — needs planningfuneral-planning.wishes

    Status: tracked as TT-1292 — no change proposal covers it yet

    TT-1292 is tracked as an issue but is not a change proposal in the pinned registry

The 30 change proposals this demo relies on

A change proposal (ICP) is a tracked request to extend the standard. These are the ones behind the “Planned” features across all 32 screens — and the few already adopted and built. Where the standard has a written proposal we show its status from the standard’s own record; where it does not, we say so rather than guess.
