Farewill has raised £20 million - money that it hopes will not only help the company grow its business but also help in the process of coping with our own deaths and those of our loved ones.
Just five months after its first foray into the world of direct cremations, will-writing firm Farewill has raised an additional £20m and is working on a big push into the funeral industry.

Will-writing startup Farewill is offering its service for free to NHS workers amid the coronavirus outbreak. The organisation said it noted a 12-fold increase in requests for wills from NHS workers in March alone.
NHS workers can get a free will service during the coronavirus pandemic as applications surge from healthcare workers nationwide.
The average cost of a funeral in the UK has doubled in 10 years, and many want a send-off that's more personal and less formal. That's why we offer a simple cremation service, as Dan explains on the Today Programme.
