Staying Connected in Times of Goodbye: The Role of Web Streaming in Modern Funerals

Saying goodbye to someone we love is one of the most important moments in life. At Alex Gow Funerals, we believe that no one should miss the opportunity to honour, reflect, and grieve, even if they can’t be there in person. That’s why we offer live web streaming of funeral services: a simple, respectful way to help families and friends stay connected, no matter where they are in the world.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
Lest we forget.

These words that we recite every Anzac Day were taken from a poem written by Laurence Binyon in 1914. The verse, which became known as the League Ode, has been used in association with Anzac Day commemoration services in Australia since 1921 and is broadcast nationally in every RSL at 6.00pm daily as a sign of respect to all our service men and women.
All of us at Alex Gow Funerals salute and thank them for all they have done.

As always, the Alex Gow team will be at The Gap RSL Sub-Branch tomorrow, handing out water to those who march. If you are there, be sure to pop in and say hi.

May this special time of year be blessed with love and warm memories.Happy Easter from all of us at Alex Gow Funerals.

The Amazing Power of STORY by Alan Wolfelt Ph.D.

"As the 25th anniversary of the death of my father approaches, I have found myself instinctively going backwards. Back to the days just before his death when I had the honour of holding space for him as he prepared to make his transition".

This wonderful story gives us insight and understanding into the need to share stories to overcome grief.
