Be a Beacon of Kindness

They are struggling. Their loss has affected them in ways you did not expect. The once vibrant, outgoing person you knew has retreated into themselves. The happiness that accompanied them in life seems to have disappeared. They are grieving.

Be that person… the one who calls them from time to time, to check in on how they are doing. Be the person who unexpected drops by for a coffee or who offers to run an errand with them. Provide companionship. They may say they’re doing fine, but look for the signs.

Just being there for them will be noticed. They won’t feel like they’re alone or that they don’t have anyone to confide in. We all need to share our feelings from time to time.

Your kindness is a true gift from a friend. It will help them at a time when most needed.

Happy Grandparent’s Day!

The special bonds that grandparents and their grandchildren share are heartwarming. Grandmothers know how to make that favourite dessert and let you lick the spoon if you are good. Grandfathers can tell a bedtime story better than anyone else and know so much about the old days.

Most of the time they aren’t much for rules… it’s about having fun and enjoying each another’s company. Today we celebrate these wonderful people in our families. Your patience, wisdom and love are a blessing.

To grandparents who are no longer with us, our memories of you are always filled with love.

Preplanning
Tips for Better Choices

When prearranging a funeral, good decision-making practices include a number of actions that will lead to a better decision.

1. Write down your wish list. What does the funeral service need to include so that it becomes a personal reflection of who you are?
2. Consult with family members. Seek input from those you are close to. What will make the service meaningful to them?
3. Talk with a funeral director. They will provide insights on what is feasible and what works well.
4. Make comparisons and then decisions if possible, so that these can be recorded and acted on in the future.
5. Consider prefunding your funeral. This will provide cost savings over time.

If you have questions on funeral planning, please contact us. We’re here to help.
