Help Us to Create a Truly Meaningful Service

We’ve worked with so many families who have asked us how they can honour their loved one in some special way. Our conversations looked to discover the uniqueness, the achievements and the pastimes of a beloved.

With this information, we make suggestions about how to incorporate presentations or displays to highlight how special they were. It may be shining a light on their volunteerism or their commitment to their family. It may be honouring them by revisiting their efforts in the community. It may be hobbies that display their special skills. There are many ways we can pay tribute to them.

We do need your help though. You know them best and know what was important to them. If you wish to chat with us about how we are creating special moments at a service, please call. This will help to ensure the service is truly meaningful for all in attendance.

We wish you a Joyous Holiday Season and a Merry Christmas!

What is the meaning of Christmas? The significance of Christmas is slightly different for every person. For some it is gathering to be with loved ones. For others it is the excitement and smiles their children bring at season festivities. With others it is an opportunity for spiritual renewal.

Christmas is about sharing love, whether it be with a family member, a friend, an acquaintance or even a stranger.

If possible, this holiday season, let’s remind ourselves to extend a kind gesture to someone who will be spending Christmas alone or to someone who is less fortunate. The act of giving, in of itself, holds its rewards.

Merry Christmas

Leaving Love Notes

It was always that part of your day which you looked forward to the most. Maybe it was concealed in your lunch, perhaps it was hidden away in your pocket where they knew it would be discovered when you searched for your keys, or possibly it was stashed away somewhere special, in a place where only you would find it… your daily love note.

When it didn’t appear, there was sadness and disappointment. How could they have forgotten? Then a day or two later, two notes would turn up, and give you twice the joy. It was a bonus day! You couldn’t remember exactly when it started but it was a part of you now. Every day was just a little bit better with these little messages, some that inspired and others that showed affection.

To have someone think about us and then put their thoughts in written words can be so special to us.

If you have a friend or family member who is having a difficult time with the loss of a loved one, why not leave a note that shows you care. It just might make their day. It’s times like these that small gestures go a long way.
