Writing a eulogy can feel like a big task, but it’s really about sharing the life and memories of your loved one in a way that feels meaningful to you. You can include personal stories, cherished memories, or qualities that made them special. Some families choose to keep it brief and simple, while others prefer a few short tributes from different people; whatever feels right is what matters most.

Remember, a eulogy doesn’t have to be perfect. Speak from the heart, and let it reflect your relationship with the deceased. It can be read aloud during the service or included in the programme for others to read and remember.

The morning after someone dies in your home.

The neighbor doesn’t know yet.

The light still comes through the window the same way it always has.

The dust floats. Birds sing their thing. Coffee brews out of habit.

But everything is different.

This is the quietest morning you’ll ever experience because it's not quite peaceful, just hushed.

It feels like the world lowered its voice out of respect.

You’re aware of every sound, every creak, every breath you take without them.

There’s often guilt here.

For sleeping.

For laughing at a memory.

For noticing how beautiful the light is when someone you love is gone.

If this was your morning, you didn’t do it wrong.

This liminal space between presence and absence is part of grief.

It’s sacred, even when it feels unbearable.

Nothing needs to be rushed today.

You’re allowed to stand at the window a little longer.

At Sonja Smith Elite Funeral Group, we believe that having a funeral for your baby can offer a meaningful way to acknowledge their place in your family. Many parents find that creating a small service or memorial helps them recognise their baby’s life, share their love with others, and begin navigating their grief with support around them.

A service can also create a moment of reflection and connection for parents, family, and friends. It becomes a way to express love, honour your baby’s brief presence, and gently start adjusting to life after loss. Every family’s needs are different, and the service can be shaped in a way that feels right for you.

Sometimes the kindest thing you can do for yourself is simply to let them. Let people make their own choices, follow their own paths, and learn their own lessons. You can’t control how others behave, but you can choose how you respond, where you place your energy, and what you allow to take up space in your life.

When you release the need to manage anyone else’s journey, you create room to focus on your own growth, your own peace, and the things that truly matter to you. Let them be who they are — and allow yourself to become who you are meant to be.

A Life File helps ensure your loved ones know your wishes and have all the important information they may need when the time comes. It’s a practical tool that makes planning simpler and gives peace of mind.

Here are some of the documents that usually go into a life file:
🕊 Personal Details – ID, contact information, and next of kin details
🕊 Financial Information – bank accounts, insurance policies, and funeral cover
🕊 Legal Documents – Will, power of attorney, and property deeds
🕊 Preferences – funeral wishes, medical directives, and special requests

Keeping a Life File updated means your family doesn’t have to search for crucial information during a difficult time. It’s about being prepared and caring for those you love.

Evening funerals are becoming a thoughtful alternative for families who want a more intimate and meaningful farewell. They offer a quieter atmosphere, softer lighting, and a sense of calm that many people find comforting. An evening service can also accommodate guests who cannot attend during the day, allowing more loved ones to be present.

With the flexibility in timing, the gentle ambience, and the opportunity for a more personal gathering, an evening funeral can create a beautiful and deeply respectful way to honour someone special.

If there is a funeral cover policy in place for your loved one, the funeral director will require a few key documents to process the claim smoothly. Having these on hand can help ease some of the practical stress during a difficult time:

🕊 ID document of the loved one who passed away
A certified copy is usually required to verify the details of the person covered.

🕊 ID document of the Claimant
This confirms who is legally submitting the claim.

🕊 Original Policy Contracts
These help the insurer confirm the benefits and terms of the cover.

🕊 Marriage Certificate (if applicable)
Required when a spouse is the claimant or beneficiary.

If you ever need guidance, we’re here to support you with clarity and care.
