Funeral Services and Flower Selections

The following are some considerations when sending flowers in memory of a loved one.

• Casket sprays and standing sprays are typically purchased by the immediate family of the deceased. More distant relatives and friends usually opt to purchase a simple spray or wreath.
• Floral arrangements are sent for both traditional services with a casket and memorial services with an urn.
• When making the purchase with your florist. Address the flowers to the funeral home with a delivery time earlier in the day, which the funeral is to take place on. Label the flowers with the name of the deceased. The funeral home may be hosting more than one funeral that day, so it is important to properly identify who the flowers are for. A condolence card can also accompany the arrangement.
• When deciding on which flowers to send, if you can find out if the family has a certain preference, or if the deceased had a favourite flower, these are both good choices. Or you may wish to research the meaning of different flowers and make a decision based on a certain virtue associated with a particular flower.

Remember you can always call us to find out our protocols for sending flowers to our funeral home. We can help you and even recommend a florist that we regularly work with.

Hello Sunshine

Tis the season. There is no better time in the year, to enjoy nature or an early morning sunrise. If you’ve been staying inside a lot lately, why not step out of your comfort zone and go for a stroll at daybreak? Sunny days are here and adding some sunshine to your day is sure to bring comfort and contentment.

There are many health benefits associated with getting out in the sun.
• Increase in vitamin D levels
• Supports bone health
• Helps with alleviating depression
• Helps ease symptoms of some skin conditions
• Promotes personal well-being

This said, too much sunshine is associated with some skin cancers. Moderate exposure and the use of sun screen is recommended.

Depending on how active you are, getting out to enjoy the warmth of the sun may involve having an ice cream or coffee at the park or a 20-minute walk through your neighbourhood. For those who are more fit, enjoying your favourite exercise or activity with the sun as a backdrop is sure to make your daily workout that much more enjoyable.

Make a habit of this, the soothing effects of sunshine are a natural source of joy. For individuals who are grieving, stepping out into the sunshine may be just the reprieve you were needing.

Funerals are often a sad, reflective occasion where mourners come together to remember a lost loved one, but they don't all have to be that way. These epic, weird, and just plain cool hearses are the perfect way to send the dearly departed off in style. Whether it's a converted E-Type Jag or a...

Happy Grandparent’s Day!

Grandparent’s day falls on the second Sunday in September each year and we have been celebrating these members of our families for more than 25 years.

The life of a child is so much fuller with loving grandparents to spend time with. Sometimes they bake their favourite treats, sometimes they read bedtime stories and they give the best hugs. Today we celebrate these special people. Thank you for all you do!

To grandparents who are no longer with us, you caring ways will never be forgotten.
