Wondering what to wear to a digital funeral? Wear whatever feels right to you! If you feel like dressing up to honor your loved one, do so. If you prefer to be comfortable, that's great too. Maybe wear their favorite color, or for the sports fan, their favorite team's jersey. Whatever you choose, don't forget to engage in the service and show the family support to help you view the funeral as a funeral - helping you prepare to grieve.

Celebrations of life are a time when people come together to celebrate the unique personality and achievements of the deceased without the more formal funeral service. They are commonly held after the individual's physical remains have been cared for, which allows you to make optimal decisions about how you would like to celebrate.

Materials used to make biodegradable urns can vary, but they do need to be made from something that can break down easily and relatively quickly upon burial. For example, they can be made of paper, cardboard, wood fibers, sand, or dissolvable materials like salt (which are increasingly popular.)

1. Don’t let anyone say it's crazy to be grieving the loss of a pet. Intense grief is natural and normal when losing a beloved member of the family.
2. Don’t expect to feel grief in only one way. Grief isn’t just one emotion. It is unique to everyone and comes in different ways, and lasts different amounts of time.
3. Honor their life in one way or another. For many, skipping this step inhibits the chance to begin the healing process.
4. Remember other pets can also grieve the loss. Make sure to give them extra love, attention and care.
5. Share feelings and emotions with a close, pet-friendly, friend. There's not need to grieve alone, and remember to practice self-care.

Most caskets are lined with polyester, velvet, or satins. We believe this is important, as this ensures a peaceful and comfortable looking final goodbye which helps the deceased's loved ones recover from the sense of loss and begin the healing process. If you want to know what lining options we recommend, reach out anytime at https://www.fitzhenrywiefels.com/.

When a loved one dies, it's never quite the same… we just learn to slowly go on without them, but always keeping them tucked safely within our hearts.

Most families prefer the burial of a family member more private and personal. Cremation is also convenient for families who don’t live close to each other. The location for the burial is not also a problem because you can bring the urn when you move and you don’t have to go back to the place you lived before to visit them.
