A lot of us like to save up for special occasions - a holiday, some home improvements - but, as we grow older, more of us think about saving for the costs that come after we die.
In fact, 69% of people make some sort of provision to help with the cost of their funeral, according to the financial services firm Sunlife.
And it's a big bill - more than £9,000 if you want a funeral and a wake or even a party afterwards.
Today on Money Box Live, we'll be talking about what kind of send off you might want from, woodland burials to tradition services as well as how to pay for it.
This week Felicity Hannah is joined by solicitor Gary Rycroft and Julian Ferguson from the Association of Green Funeral Directors.
