Many people wonder who will perform their funeral service when they don’t belong to a church or are not religious. Celebrants are used if you would like a non religious, or non denominational service.
There are many celebrants that we can recommend to you and your family. Celebrants are great because they get to know who they are speaking about. They truly personalize each service.

Explaining death to children is difficult. They experience big emotions, and don’t know how to process them.
Depending on their age they might not fully be able to grasp the concept of death. For example a young child doesn’t understand the finality of death and may continue to expect them to come back at some point.
When you are also grieving these constant questions can be even more difficult!
Books are a great resource to help children process their grief, and it is explained in an age appropriate manner

These are some books our staff has specifically used with children.

Disenfranchised Grief is a type of grief that is not validated, acknowledged or accepted. Some examples include

-an ex partner
-a pet
-an abusive family member
-death by su***de
-death by crime
-a coworker
-a criminal or someone incarcerated
-a lover in an affair
-a miscarriage
-abortion, etc…

Non death related disenfranchised grief can include: loss of a job, letting go of a toxic relationship, and accepting chronic illness, etc…

Know that disenfranchised grief is very difficult. People recognize that their grief won’t be accepted and won’t express their grief. Holding in your feelings is not healthy. While not everyone will understand your grief…. Someone will!

There will be someone who accepts your feelings, gives you a hug, comforts you on hard days, listens to your memories and will truly support you! If you can’t find that support please reach out to us and we can refer you to our free grief group

Growing up my Grandma had a crystal candy dish. Every one of her grandchildren had perfected the art of stealing candy without the dish making a sound! When it came time to have her funeral, I found it appropriate to have dishes of candy for everyone to enjoy. This is just one example of how to make your loved one’s funeral personal and special.
