Guiding and Support Families - The Story of a Funeral Director
Watching this video and confronting planning a funeral for your child will be difficult. It may be helpful to reach out to family and friends, a family doctor, counsellor, social worker or health care team that you trust to support you.
Losing a loved one can be one of the most painful experiences anyone can go through. In the midst of this grief and sadness, lies the daunting task of arranging a funeral.
For many families, this process can be challenging and overwhelming. The role of a funeral director is to listen and understand what’s most important to the families involved, support and guide through this process and help farewell your loved one in a meaningful way, that fulfills their wishes and honours their life whilst holding the family in a safe space. It’s also important to remember that funerals can mean different things to different families.
