22.01.2022 People are usually hesitant and unsure when it comes to offering comfort. Most are uncomfortable when it comes to knowing what to say. There are no words that can take away the pain of the loss of a loved one. However, there are certain phrases within our condolences vernacular that while well-meaning, should be avoided. Here we show how a simple change of phrase can be beneficial to those who are grieving http://www.remembrancefunerals.com.au//condolences-not-to/

22.01.2022 Planning ahead is the best way to protect your loved ones as best you can financially and emotionally.

21.01.2022 Holding a wake for a family member or friend who has passed on is an old and beloved tradition. Today’s wakes are focused on being a celebration of the loved one’s life, a time to recollect the special place they hold in your heart and within the hearts and memories of their family and friends. A celebratory wake may be a celebration and a time for remembering, but it’s also a time for closure. Mourning and grief are unique experiences for each one among us. Holding a wake makes us all feel less alone and more connected to those around us. Remembering the gestures, actions, words, and deeds of a beloved may be a truly unique experience that honours not only the memory of a beloved but their life also.

16.01.2022 When a loved one passes away, there are a number of important decisions that need to be made shortly after. Some of those will need to be made on the spot without the benefit of any prior consideration; others are decisions that you may have discussed with your loved one prior to their death. When it comes to choosing a cemetery in Perth, there are some things to consider. Some people will choose a cemetery in close proximity to where they live. This is a good idea if you or ...your partner and family are intending on staying in the same home. It also depends on where other family members are buried. It is a nice thing to have generations of family members buried at the same cemetery. That may require some travel for visits. When pre-planning your own funeral, your decision might be based on both of those considerations or, you might choose a spot that you love in a location that has significance. Bare in mind that some plots cost more than others based on size and location. Remembrance Funerals can provide advice and assistance when choosing a cemetery.

Sincerely - Peg, Keith, Parry"

14.01.2022 Funeral etiquette is respecting the choices that the deceased’s family have made to farewell their loved one. For many, especially young people, funerals are very rare events. They are solemn and often, very sad. You are attending to offer your condolences and support to the family and a final farewell to the deceased. Knowing how to act at a funeral is very important. Read our guide to funeral etiquette here http://www.remembrancefunerals.com.au//funeral-etiquette-/

11.01.2022 At Remembrance Funerals we are big advocates of doing things your own way both in life and death. With that said, we believe a memorial should be no exception. Having a memorial as a lasting memory of a loved one who has died provides comfort for many and a place for reflection. Memorials may contain ashes or simply be a tribute to say, although absent you are still loved and still missed. There is a great deal of choice allowing you to have a very personal tribute whether yo...u are thinking of something traditional or more unusual. The traditional options can still be very personal cemetery headstones and plaques can be traditional or contemporary designs reflecting your loved one. Urns and their design have evolved tremendously in recent years with many being works of art in their own right. Garden memorials such as trees and benches remain very popular with sun dials and sculptures adding to the choices available. Jewellery made from ashes are very intimate memorials and range from pendants to keyrings and tie pins. The team here at Remembrance Funerals are on hand to help. Whatever your wishes may be, we will give you the freedom to choose a fitting memorial for your loved one.

10.01.2022 At Remembrance Funerals, we’re often surprised by some of the misconceptions that people have about funerals and how to arrange them. Our team are always here to discuss any queries that you may have about any of the services we provide. Here are some common misconceptions:... 1) Funerals cost a fortune This is very common indeed. Our advice is to speak with us and discuss your wishes. We are always able to offer a service that reflects the budget, or suggest ways that can still incorporate key aspects but perhaps without the cost of doing it another way. 2) Family have to view the deceased This is not the case and is a personal choice. Some people find great comfort and closure from viewing their loved one. For others, the thought of seeing their loved one laying in a coffin is too traumatic. 3) Embalming is compulsory While there is definitely a benefit in terms of keeping the deceased stable in our care, embalming is not compulsory. We advise families on a case by case basis depending on the individual circumstances. 4) Are those the right ashes? The cremation takes place in a single cremator, which is cleared after each cremation. This ensures that the cremated remains that we collect from the crematorium are definitely those of your loved one. Crematoriums are happy to talk through this in more detail and even show you around on request to put your mind at ease. For any advice please contact us on 1300 799 093 or visit www.remembrancefunerals.com.au

10.01.2022 Coronavirus 10 Mourner Rule Many families are experiencing further heartbreak over new restrictions on funerals and must now change their funeral plans. No more than 10 mourners can attend funerals from until further notice, Prime Minister Scott Morrison has announced.... The 10-person limit includes a funeral director and celebrant if used, so in reality only eight or nine family members can be present. Thousands of West Australian families will be affected; the Metropolitan Cemeteries Board recorded more than 12,000 funerals for the 2018-2019 financial year. Families must accept having an unattended or very small basic funeral, and instead plan a larger celebratory memorial in several months’ time when restrictions are lifted. Alternatively, they could hold the full funeral and live-stream to family members who could not be present. The full service might not be available for much longer as COVID-19 takes hold and funeral homes need to increase their capacity. Remembrance Funerals are turning our attention to implementing measures to deal with clients electronically, though for now we are still able to meet face-to-face or via online meetings as requested. Some things to consider; The MCB and chapels are assisting with spacing and enforcing the 1.5-metre rule, with one person on the end of each pew, which have been spaced further apart. Coffins can be placed on trolleys, so the family members present need not be capable of lifting. Catering and limousines are still available for now and increased hygiene and distancing measures are being implemented around these services. Mourners can still bring flowers and physical tributes, though should be mindful that they must be responsible around objects that will be touched by multiple people. Contact us for any advice regarding planning a funeral in these uncertain times.

09.01.2022 2 Most Common Mistakes When Planning a Funeral in Perth With so much raw emotion and anxiety that comes at the time of a loved one’s passing, it is common to find yourself having difficulty coping with everything going on and with all that needs arranging. It is easy to overlook and miss several key components of planning a funeral.... Here are 2 of the common mistakes while planning a funeral in Perth; 1) Not having a clear direction While this is as much to do with the time before a loved one has passed away, the end result is a state of heightened anxiety, uncertainty and a rush of activity. Many partners and families often fail to have a conversation with their significant others concerning their final wishes in the event they pass away. Understanding the final wishes of a loved one provides a clear direction to plan the funeral, all the while minimising the burden that you would otherwise place on yourself. 2) Planning a funeral because of expectations Many people do not understand the benefit of a funeral service. Instead, they are proceeding with the funeral on the basis that society deems it the thing to do or that others around them expect it. Many experts acknowledge that the greatest power in a funeral comes from the memories it creates and their role in fulfilling the healing process. When some family members fail to pick up on this, they start to think of the funeral as merely a service and the end result that comes from that. This can lead to undesirable outcomes by focusing on matters of less importance. Remembrance Funerals are here to help each step of the way. For any assistance with planning a funeral for your loved one, please call 1300 799 093 or visit www.remembrancefunerals.com.au

07.01.2022 What not to put in a coffin, items that should be avoided Modern funerals have come a long way and there seems to be an endless amount of choice. They are often used as a chance to celebrate a person’s life, rather than mark their passing. Expressions of individuality are welcome at today’s funerals. ... As well as people making their own choices known in life, those attending their funeral also like to contribute. Unfortunately this can have unforeseen consequences. With Remembrance Funerals being providers of funerals in Perth, we would like to offer some advice. There are certain things that should not be put in coffins for cremation; Read more here www.remembrancefunerals.com.au//what-not-to-put-in-a-coff/

02.01.2022 Remembrance is an essential part of the grieving process. When we lose someone, sometimes it may feel that ‘moving on’ means letting go of that person and thinking about them less frequently in order to manage the emotional pain. A level of acceptance wherein you begin to come to terms with your loss and start to consider the future again will certainly come with time but this does not mean forgetting.
