🪶 Did You Know? Ostrich feathers once played a powerful role in traditional funerals.

In Victorian England, black ostrich plumes were used to decorate hearses and horses during funeral processions — a symbol of mourning, dignity, and social status. The more feathers, the more elaborate (and expensive) the ceremony.

But the tradition goes deeper. In African and Caribbean cultures, ostrich feathers are sometimes seen as a spiritual symbol, connecting the living to ancestors and guiding the soul in its journey beyond.

From royal processions to ancestral rites, the ostrich feather has long been more than just decoration — it’s a symbol of honor, memory, and transition.

💛 Grief Awareness Day | August 30 💛

Today, on Grief Awareness Day, we pause to recognize that grief is a deeply personal journey — one that looks different for everyone.

Whether your loss is recent or many years past, your feelings are valid. There is no “right” way to grieve, and no timeline for healing.

At Marc Stephens Funeral Home, we believe in creating space for remembrance, reflection, and gentle support — not just on this day, but always.

You are not alone. 💬 If you or someone you know is struggling with loss, we’re here to listen, without judgment.

🌿 Be kind to yourself. Honor your feelings. And reach out when you’re ready.

Why Do We Carry Coffins on Our Shoulders?
It’s more than just tradition — it’s a final act of love and honor.

Lifting the coffin onto our shoulders symbolizes the weight of our loss and the respect we hold for the one who has passed. It’s a way for loved ones to say, “You mattered. We’ll carry you, even now.”

In many cultures, this act represents spiritual elevation, communal grief, and a deep personal connection. It reminds us that mourning is not something we do alone — we carry it together.

A solemn gesture. A shared burden. A farewell with dignity. 🕊️
