Pre-planning allows you to provide clear guidance for your family, ensuring your wishes are respected and celebrated. It not only offers peace of mind for you but also brings clarity and comfort to your loved ones.

Everyone has a unique story and a life worth celebrating. A service reflecting and acknowledging a loved ones life allows family and friends to honour them in a meaningful way. It provides a space for emotional and physical support, offering closure and initiating the grieving process. This helps individuals cope with their grief and enables them to be able to move forward with their lives. Remember, a celebration doesn't have to be expensive; there are many ways to remember your loved one.
.
Some people find it helpful to spend time with their loved one before the funeral. This special time provides an opportunity to say goodbye. A viewing can aid the grieving process by allowing family to begin accepting the reality of their loss. It can also be a time to place mementos such as cards, letters, small gifts, photos, flowers, and other significant objects in the casket.
