Funeral planning has developed quite the reputation. We’re here to set the record straight.
Funeral planning is NOT morbid. In fact, most who plan in advance feel relieved, a greater sense of peace and contentment from their actions.
Funeral planning is NOT traditional and dated. Instead, funeral planning has constantly been changing how we accept death and celebrate a life lived.
