25.01.2022 It's lovely to get this kind of feedback during such a difficult time "Hi Susie, myself and Steve just wanted to say thank you to you and Remembrance Funerals for making such a difficult time a lot easier to bear with your help.

21.01.2022 A beautiful bit of feedback

20.01.2022 Most people are unsure at what to do when someone they love passes. Here we explain what happens so that you can be prepared http://www.remembranceladies.com.au//what-to-do-when-a-lo/

20.01.2022 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.

19.01.2022 Along with choosing the proper flowers for the funeral service and an appropriate music selection, one of the most important decisions we make when planning a loved one’s funeral is whether or not to hold a viewing as a part of the service. In many cultures the viewing of the loved ones body plays a big role within the memorial and for others it’s a crucial step within the grieving process. The decision to carry out a viewing is a very personal one.... Read more about Holding a Viewing Before a Funeral here http://www.remembranceladies.com.au//holding-a-viewing-be/

19.01.2022 Some lovely feedback we recently received "Dear Susie & staff, Keith and I would like to extend our grateful thanks for your beautiful service for our late sister Gwen.

Sincerely - Peg, Keith, Parry"

19.01.2022 As we all know, death can occur at anytime.

19.01.2022 The loss of a loved one can be a traumatic time for adults, so imagine how confusing this time can be for children. When the loss of a close relative or friend occurs it can be difficult to explain to a young child where they have gone, and why everyone is behaving differently. On the opposite end of the scale, a child can brighten the mood on an otherwise difficult day by breaking up the formality of the service. Remembrance Ladies have experience in helping families come to... a decision when including children in the funeral or not. The way a child responds to death depends on their maturity and level of understanding. It has been confirmed that a child under the age of 4 has difficulty processing death. Children can respond differently to open caskets, services where a cremation has taken place, and religious ceremonies outside of their daily routine. We can help advise the best way to help the child deal with the death of their loved one. www.remembranceladies.com.au

16.01.2022 Who Can Lead a Funeral Service in Perth? Funeral services are a very important time for the celebration and reflection of a loved one that has passed away. Because funeral services can include eulogies, poems, music, shared memories and more, having a leader for the service helps to bring it all together and to ensure it runs smoothly.... A funeral service is usually lead by a service officiant. This role can be fulfilled by anyone including a celebrant, minister, friend or a family member. At Remembrance Ladies most families tend to choose a celebrant. Celebrants are authorised professionals who have been trained and are there to meet the wishes and needs of the loved one and their family. Ministers are religious representatives and are usually chosen to lead services where the loved one or family are religious. Services lead by ministers vary depending on the specific religion. A service that is lead by a friend or a family member can be more personal and relaxed. Leading a service as a family member or friend can be daunting, however it can also be very rewarding. For advice on who to have leading your loved ones funeral service and how to arrange it, please contact us on 0415 938 300 or visit www.remembranceladies.com.au

15.01.2022 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. Our memories are a personal treasure and can come to your aid at times w...hen you’re feeling low. Recollecting your favourite moments with your lost loved one helps keep your memories fresh and give a much-needed boost to your emotional wellbeing. Marking significant dates, such as a birthday or the anniversary of a death, with a visit to a meaningful place or the gathering of loved ones can also be a positive thing. Talking about your feelings, reminiscing together and supporting each other is a wonderful way to keep memories alive and celebrate life. At Remembrance Ladies we are truly proud of the services we’re able to offer to support this process for those in their time of need. We take the time to listen to our clients to create an individual funeral service to give grievers a fitting place to come together and share their feelings; and we can talk through the various options for a memorials physical touchstones such as urns, headstones and plaques that we find can mean a lot to the families and friends left behind. If you would like to discuss funeral options for your loved one, please call us on 0415 938 300 or visit www.remembranceladies.com.au

12.01.2022 Losing a loved one is something we never wish upon anyone, so it can be hard to know what type of support to bestow upon them. The number one thing you can do is listen to the bereaved and find out their wants and needs. It’s important to consider the needs and wants of those around you at such difficult time. Remembering that how people grieve is unique and sometimes actions won’t make sense to you or the person grieving so take this into consideration when lending an ear. Angry outbursts or crying, laughing and other emotions are all normal reactions to a shock in the system. If they don’t feel like talking, that’s okay too....

05.01.2022 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 Ladies can provide advice and assistance when choosing a cemetery.

04.01.2022 At Remembrance Ladies, 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 call 0415 938 300 or visit www.remembranceladies.com.au

04.01.2022 The grieving process is different for every person. It can involve long periods of crying or reminiscing about happy times spent with your loved one. Other times mourners can appear stoic, staying strong for their families. Often they simply cannot express their feelings at that moment. Remembrance Ladies understand that grief is individual and that if this is the first time you’ve lost someone, you may feel uncertain about how to act during a funeral service. Or perhaps it’s been awhile since you last attended a service. In case you’re unfamiliar with funeral etiquette, we’ve compiled a short list of tips to help you get through the day http://www.remembranceladies.com.au//how-best-to-handle-y/
