1976, a Year of Firsts and Starts

It was a busy year in Canada with the CN Tower opening on June 26 in time for Canada Day celebrations. Parliament voted to abolish the death penalty, the Timbit made its debut and Montreal welcomed the world to the Summer Olympics, an unforgettable games that saw 14-year-old Nadia Comaneci receive the first ever perfect gymnastic score. On the international front, the G6 became the G7 with the inclusion of Canada as a member.

In science, space travel witnessed the successful landing of the Viking 1 on Mars and the release of the famous “Face on Mars” photo captured by this space craft; later in the year, Viking 2 would also arrive at our planetary neighbour and take the first close-up colour photographs of the planet’s surface.

Technology was big news in 1976 with the formation of many tech giants that continue to be successful to this day. Apple Computer Company was formed by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak with the first personal computer, the Apple I, available to the hobbyist market. Later that year, little-known company, Microsoft, was officially registered as a company and IBM introduced the first commercial laser printer.

In entertainment, moviegoers flocked to see Redford and Hoffman in “All the President’s Men,” Sylvester Stallone in “Rocky” and Robert De Niro in “Taxi Driver.” The most popular tv shows of the year were Happy Days, MASH and Laverne and Shirley. In literature readers flipped the pages of Alex Haley’s “Roots, The Saga of an American Family.” In music, Paul McCartney’s “Silly Love Songs” topped the charts.

Please Share: Petition (read below)
In a practice commonly referred to as obit scraping or obit piracy, third party websites are copying obit information from funeral home websites and adding modified death notices to their own platform. This practice is done without the family’s or funeral home’s approval.

Additionally, they are selling online memorial products and profiting from this practice.

A petition is underway to gauge public interest to see if this practice should be ceased. To indicate you wish current legislation changed to protect grieving families, please see the below link and sign: https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-6997

Make an Informed Decision about their Service

In our roles as funeral directors we will advise families of the available best practices to honour and pay tribute to a loved one. The training we receive and the experience we’ve acquired over the years helps us as we provide information on the many ways a family can create a service for a beloved. Remembrance through ceremony has been a part of humankind for millennia. The saying of good-byes is not a new idea or social construct.

When preplanning a service, the importance to create an opportunity to say good-byes to a loved one is paramount. By gathering together with well wishers a small community unites to support and comfort one another. Those who mourn, come to realize they are not alone.

We support families who face this journey, by providing counsel on a variety of topics that ease the burden they face, immediately following the loss of their loved one. This is often an unfamiliar world, one filled with many questions which is often accompanied by considerable anxiety. Our involvement facilitates a smooth unfolding of the events that follow losing a beloved.

We are here for you, at your time of need or if you have questions about funeral planning. Having the information to make decisions in an informed way is one of our goals when meeting with you.

Serenity Galaxy Spheres
A Beautiful and Unique Way to Memorialize a Loved One

Finding the right way to honour the life of a loved one can be a difficult task. Some families have found comfort with a Serenity Sphere keepsake – a unique blown-glass product that memorializes a loved one in a truly stunning and dignified way.

Canadian company Eternity’s Touch produces a collection of Serenity Galaxy Spheres. Each keepsake is handcrafted with the utmost care and attention; their process involves fusing molten borosilicate glass with cremated remains to create a one-of-a-kind piece of art that will last for generations. A truly unique feature of this product is that it is infused with photoluminescence, which means UV light during the day prompts the sphere to glow in the dark at night. All spheres come with a small stand, creating a beautiful but subtle memorial. They are commonly placed on a mantelpiece, desk or bedside table.

The Serenity Galaxy collection is also available in pendants, earrings, pebbles and beads. Its swirling glass design and reflection of light produces the sensation of a loved one living amongst the stars.

Please contact us for more information about this unique memorial product.

Becoming a Widow at a Young Age
P.S. I Love You - The Movie

The grief journey can be complicated when younger adults face the loss of a loved one, especially a spouse. P.S. I Love You, brings the viewer into the world of Holly, (Hillary Swank), a 30ish grieving widow, who has lost the love of her life Gerry, (Gerald Butler), as a result of a brain tumour.

This film, chooses not to focus on the Gerry’s decline and death, but rather it tries to keep an upbeat and lighter tone. There are no hospital scenes, but rather a Celebration of Life which has mourners paying tribute at a local pub, where shots are being drank and empty glasses are being placed upside down on a hand-crafted urn. More of a romantic comedy, than a drama, Holly’s coming to terms with her loss is the premise around which scenes are presented.

Gerry knows that it will take his posthumous intervention to help Holly through her grief journey and decides to leave her letters to help her move on with her life. It could be said that he knows her better than she knows herself. These letters arrive at key times, share messages of love and encouragement and are always post scripted with ‘I Love You.’

These letters help Holly realize that life does go on. As she ventures through the stages of grief, she experiences many epiphanies. How many letters are there and when will they stop coming?

P.S. I Love You delivers a contemporary message about love and losing a spouse, and coming to terms with a new reality. Its witty script chooses not to focus on the sadness that grief brings, but rather finding a way to cope with a new life. Viewers are sure to enjoy this approach.

“My life will be changed as I knew it.”
