Pre-Planning
Let’s normalise the conversation around death.
It’s going to be emotional when we lose someone special. That’s the price we pay when we love. The grief and the pain are only present when someone who has filled our hearts, is no longer there to hold that space.
It’s tragic, but the alternative is worse. The only way to avoid the pain of loss is not to love in the first place. To live a life without love is not to live at all.
Taking the time to plan a Farewell Service is challenging, particularly when you’re dealing with grief.
Taking action before you need to is a gift to those who would otherwise be responsible for arranging the details. Preparing for the service provides peace of mind for everyone concerned.
There’s no cost to complete the forms and no obligation to use our services.
There are three forms below.
The first form allows us to transfer the deceased into our care.
The second form has all the information we require to complete the legal paperwork for a cremation and apply for a death certificate after the cremation.
The third form is for planning a farewell service after the cremation.
Complete the appropriate forms and we will securely store the details, ready for when the time comes to take action.
If you’re like me, and would rather speak to a human, or arrange a time to meet face to face to complete the paperwork, give me a call on 07 5343 6963. Again, no strings attached.
Preparing for a Farewell Service, your own or someone elses gives everyone peace of mind
