25.01.2022 FACTS ON FUNERALS - NUMBER 1. IF SOMEONE DIES, WHAT’S THE FIRST THING YOU SHOULD DO? At the moment, you’re probably thinking - I wouldn’t know what to do.... Strangely enough the first instinct most people have is to call their family doctor, and as it happens, this is the first thing to do if a death occurs at home. The family doctor (or a locum if necessary) will attend and confirm the fact of death and will later complete a death certificate. Once the doctor has left, you then need to contact a Funeral Director to arrange for your loved one to be taken into their care. If you would like some extra time to be with your loved one, just call us when YOU’RE ready. We are here for you 24 hours a day, 365 days a year! For more information please call 95656200

Many times a tassel will be attached to the end of the sword, the swaying of which adds a mesmerizing quality to the sword. #ChineseNewYear #SwordDance #AllisonMonkhouse

04.01.2022 FACTS ON FUNERALS NUMBER 5 COPING WITH CHRISTMAS Christmas is a time usually anticipated with joy, but for the bereaved, it can be a time of sorrow, loneliness and emptiness. ... It may also be a time of memories. It is important not to let grief overwhelm the memories, good and bad, of past holidays and celebrations. You may need to tell your friends that it’s okay for them to mention the deceased person. Sometimes they avoid their name in the mistaken belief that this will shield you from your grief. If you are missing someone this Christmas, it may be easier to cope with Christmas if you do something special and specific to remember the deceased.
