Virtual funeral tip - Dress appropriately even you are just attending funeral service virtually. We would like to also suggest that keep the camera on as it shows a certain level of respect. Virtual funerals have become more common, especially with the restrictions on gatherings due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Although Covid-19 hasn't been quite the factor it was initially, Virtual services allow people to participate in memorial services, pay their respects, and offer support to grieving loved ones from a distance. While they may lack the physical presence and comforting touch of traditional funerals, virtual ceremonies can still provide a meaningful way for people to come together and honor the memory of the deceased. #respect #virtualfuneral #memorialservice #payyourrespects #moorefuneralhomeandcremation

What we do Monday through Friday is easy compared to what our fallen heroes dealt with. And gave up. Let's remember them this Memorial Day! #memorialday2023 #GeldinInsurance #GetInsured #CaliforniaInsurance #CaliforniaHealthInsurance #CaliforniaLifeInsurance #HealthInsuranceExpert #CaliforniaDentalInsurance #CaliforniaInsuranceAgency #CaliforniaMedicareExpert

💔 Planning a meaningful funeral ceremony can be a difficult and emotional process, especially during such a difficult time. But, by taking the time to put together a ceremony that reflects the life of your loved one, you can create a lasting tribute that celebrates their life and brings comfort to family and friends.💕 Start by deciding on the type of ceremony you would like- whether you would like to have a traditional service, a memorial gathering or a more personalised event. It’s important to talk to family and friends about what type of service they would feel comfortable with, so everyone can create the perfect way to pay tribute to the deceased.💕 Once the type of ceremony has been decided, you should then think about the location. If you’d like a traditional service, you may want to organise this in a church or chapel. If you’d prefer a more personalised event, you could look into different venues, such as a local park or a community centre.💕 Next, think about who you would like to involve in the ceremony. It may be a good idea to involve family and friends in the service, such as having them read a poem or share their memories. Alternatively, you could look into hiring a celebrant or a minister to officiate the ceremony.#PlanningAFuneral #FuneralDirectors #NorwichFuneralDirectors

As I contemplated reposting this, I realized the significance of discussing grief in the workplace. Losing someone you interact with daily, suddenly and unexpectedly, is incredibly difficult to process. We spend the majority of our time with colleagues, sometimes more than with our own families. Shannon's passing was a profound shock, and I found myself shedding tears at my desk, trying to carry on with work.This was my first experience of grief at work. I was tasked with organizing grief counselors to come on-site and their presence was pivotal in helping us navigate the complex stages of grief. My interactions with Shannon were always marked by kindness. She made me feel like part of the ATS family from day one, particularly with her love for sharing sweet treats with the team and daily welcoming gestures. I miss our daily interactions, from sharing laughs to small talk about her kids and daily life. These are the moments I miss the most. Grief is a new territory for me, a maze of emotions that demand to be felt and acknowledged. It doesn't adhere to a timeline; reminders can bring the pain rushing back as if it happened yesterday. Working through that week was one of the toughest challenges I've EVER faced.I'm grateful for the time off my workplace provided afterward, allowing me to reset and connect with activities that brought solace. Even now, I'm still processing Shannon's death. To those unexpectedly navigating grief in the workplace, I offer this: take time off, lean on your support network, welcome your feelings and know that ALL your feelings are valid.

Lovely day for a funeral and a unique one too. This will probably be the only funeral that I am looking forward to attending!It helps that the “deceased” is still very much with us, of course. But what a great idea from Simon Ferrar, to provide us with an opportunity to attend and experience a natural burial. An alternative burial that is argued to be “easy on the eye, kind to our hearts and gently to our world.”I am also looking forward to thinking about key questions such as:Why do we do burials?How do we do burials?What do they mean?
