Providing You a Hand of Compassion

This is what we do. We’ve assisted and supported countless families and understand that losing a loved one is difficult and can even be challenging.

One of our goals is to provide assistance in any way possible. For most, making arrangements for a beloved is something they have very little experience with; this is an unfamiliar role which carries nuances needing professional guidance. By placing ourselves in your shoes, we give you the information you require and care you need with compassion and sympathy. Yes, you seek a dignified and respectful service for your loved one and we will help you to achieve this.

Empathy is at the forefront. Having someone who you can talk to and walk alongside with is paramount in making sure you fulfill your responsibilities as next of kin. We’ll provide counsel when needed and take care of those little matters so that as you grieve, you can focus on your family and yourself.

We care.

Celebrating International Day of Older Persons

It has long been said age is not a number, but it is still worth celebrating this October 1, on International Day of Older Persons. Established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1990, the special day recognizes the contributions older people make to society, while also ensuring proper care and support to help them age with respect and dignity.

However, some older adults are bucking the trends and stereotypes by accomplishing just as much – and if not more – in the twilight of life. Let us celebrate some of these major achievements as we honour the older people in our lives.

Famous Feats of Older People:
• At age 77, John Glenn became the oldest person to venture into space after passing all the same physical exams as other astronauts.
• In 2007, Barbara Hillary, 75, became the first Black woman to reach the North Pole.
• Laura Ingalls Wilder didn’t publish her first book in the “Little House of the Prairie” series until she was 65. Her bestselling books went on to become a popular TV series.
• At age 65, Colonel Harland Sanders established the Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant chain.
• England’s Sir Thomas Moore (Captain Tom) made recent history on the run-up to his 100th birthday, walking 100 lengths of his garden to raise over £32 million for charity.

In honour of International Day of Older Persons, always remember, it is never too late to discover hidden talents, pursue new passions or contribute in meaningful ways to society.

Funerals and their Role in Preparing for the Afterlife
Ancient Egyptian Rituals

The pyramids of Egypt are well known as the final resting places of the royal elite. Hieroglyphs have been found on the tombs of kings dating back to before 3000 BC. Scrolls made from papyrus plant appeared about 1500 BC. This substance was similar to a thick paper and served as a writing surface at that time.

The evolution of the Egyptian ‘Book of the Dead’ initially contained many messages from the hieroglyphs of earlier periods. In society the elite commissioned scribes to prepare such scrolls to assist with their ascendance into the afterlife.

The main attentions of these funerary manuscripts were the preservation of the physical body, preparation for the afterlife and the ‘weighing of the heart’ for judgement of the deceased. By following prescribed practices including mummification, navigation of a supernatural realm and insurance that none of a list of sins had been committed the deceased noble would not only survive bodily death, but would also be granted entry into a realm similar to the world they left behind.

These papyrus documents or Books of the Dead are a source of Egyptian beliefs about death and practices of that time. Though there was some standardization of these books, there was also considerable customization. Some scrolls were as short as one meter in length while others exceeded forty meters. In Egyptian culture, the papyrus was placed in the sarcophagus, along with the mummified body of nobility, a guide to continue beyond mortal existence.

By fulfilling the requirements of the Book of the Dead a dead king would be able to take their place amongst the gods and unite with their divine father Ra.
