🕊️ Funeral Myths: Part Two 🕊️
“Coffins and handles are reused” – FALSE.

Let’s clear this one up: Coffins and their fittings are never reused, whether it’s for burial or cremation.

At Parkman Funeral Home, we ensure every coffin is treated with dignity and respect. Once sealed, it stays that way – nothing is removed or recycled. Handles and nameplates are cremated or buried with the coffin, just as intended.

Your loved one’s care is our top priority – always.

Funeral Myths: Part One

💬 “We were told we couldn’t carry Mum’s coffin… something to do with health and safety.”

We hear this often. And it’s simply not true.

If it’s important to you to carry a loved one on their final journey, you absolutely can. Family members and close friends can be bearers — and many find it a deeply moving part of the farewell.

This applies whether the funeral is a burial or a cremation. What matters is that the goodbye feels right for you.

We’ll always be there to guide you, quietly and respectfully, making sure you feel safe and supported every step of the way.

At Parkman Funeral Home, we believe in honouring your wishes — not hiding behind myths.

If you’re ever unsure about what’s possible, just ask. We’ll always give you the honest answer.

💙 Please, Just a Moment of Respect 💙

When a hearse passes by, it carries more than a person — it carries a lifetime of memories, love, and the grief of those left behind.

For the family walking or driving behind, this is one of the hardest days of their lives.

Please don’t overtake.
Not because you have to, but because it’s the decent, human thing to do.

There’s no rush worth more than someone’s final journey.
A few quiet moments of patience can offer a powerful message: “Your loss matters. We see you. We care.”

Kindness costs nothing, but it means everything.

Parkman Funeral Home
Every life deserves a dignified farewell.

VE Day 80th Anniversary – Lest We Forget

Today, we commemorate 80 years since Victory in Europe Day, a moment when the world celebrated the end of a dark chapter in our history.

As we reflect on the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of those who served and suffered, we honour the memory of a generation that gave everything for the freedom we cherish today.

Let us never forget the sacrifices made, the lives lost, and the unwavering spirit that brought peace to our shores.
