In these uncertain times there are still many ways in which we can make your loved ones funeral unique. Right now there are restrictions on who can be at a service and some people are having to shield so here are some ideas and solutions for this difficult season:
A commendation and committal outside of the family home
If you are shielding and unable to attend the service we can work with the Funeral Directors to ensure you can be part of the service. Maybe your neighbours would like to attend so a short commendation and a few words outside would enable others to be included.
Live video feed of the service
I have spoken on live feeds at a variety of events and will ensure that the people watching via the video feed feel included. They will be welcomed, mentioned and can receive service sheets via post or email before the service. I will invite them to sing when we do and stand at various points the same as those in the service.
Memorial Services
If I have taken a service during this season and you would like a memorial service later in the year where more people can gather please do contact me, we can weave in the words from the service and create a memorial gathering to honour the deceased ensuring all feel a part of the process.
Services are being shortened and more time is being taken to clean the chapels after every use. Whilst there is more pressure on everyone from the Funeral Arranger to the Chapel Attendant one thing has not changed, the care and attention which they will give to your loved one.
Be assured that each person is treated with the utmost respect and dignity, all who work in this industry are working to strict guidelines which they can not bend so if the Crematorium only has a limit of 10 people in attendance they have to work to that, they would love for all the limits to be lifted and for everyone to be able to be there.
I'm advised not to do home visits during this time, but I would love to sit on the phone or have a video call with you to hear all about your loved one. After the service if I could I would shake your hand or hug you and remind you that grief is a difficult journey and you need to be kind to yourself in these moments. There are so many times where everyone wants to be much closer than we can right now, please know that I am with you in spirit and I care deeply about what you are experiencing.
