📺 TV Adverts - some are funny, entertaining, moving but all are hoping for a portion of your hard earned money.
Some services and products are worth your investment BUT … would you give your hard earned cash to people who opening insult you?

⚱️DIRECT CREMATIONS are increasingly popular and do provide a more affordable way to dispose of your body when you no longer need it BUT… your local, friendly, respectful Funeral Directors can arrange this for you. They will treat your body with respect and notify your family of where you are and when your body will be at the crematorium (and which local crematorium is looking after it.)

Certain companies just want your cash. (Remember, you’re NOT planning a “Funeral” with them, you’re just planning a “Cremation”. Your family won’t be updated of your whereabouts, your body will be kept in a warehouse of a mortuary, sometimes miles from home and your family will not be sure of when “the deed is done.”

Please, if you are considering purchasing a Direct Cremation, give some serious thought to who will be looking after the person your family love. ❤️

Visit your local Funeral Director who will provide a compassionate, transparent plan.

💀International Death Cafés began 20 years ago when Bernard Crettaz introduced the first Café Mortel in Switzerland. He also published a book titled “Cafés Mortels: Sortir la Mort du Silence” (“Death Cafes: Bringing Death out of Silence”).

The talking groups or cafés were brought to London in September 2011 by Jon Underwood who also launched the website, giving international access to people who wanted to return the discussion of death to acceptable conversation. The objective of Death Cafe is ‘to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives.’ They are now global.

Death Café

We live in echoes of lost love,
Engulfed in memories -
Each experience felt differently.
Recognising our vulnerability,
We come together in a mutual desire
To explore our emotional metamorphosis
And know we are not alone.
We thrive in company,
Contribute to each other’s growing.
We explore all possibilities,
Offer support in each other’s new knowing.
We contemplate our own final transition
Whilst remembering our loved-ones’ own Earthly ending.
Death - that one transformation we can not rehearse
But we can prepare, we can normalise;
Take refuge by each other’s side.
Grow in acceptance of that inevitable day
In the company and support of the Death Café.

Tell me about the essence of your person and I will ensure it flows throughout the Funeral Ceremony.

It is always a privilege to be trusted to portray a life and love in its true colours.

🧡 Since was founded in 2016, significant improvements in awareness of, and provision for, bereavement support and services have been provided.

“None of us knows how the death of someone special in our lives will affect us. But I [Linda Magistris OBE (Founder)] hope that the initiatives we have created, the changes we have helped bring about, and the support we have offered have made a real difference to the lives of those who are bereaved.

“…Together, we will continue to strive to ensure that every person bereaved in the UK knows where to turn for HELP and HOPE when they need it most”.☔️🧡

🧡My reflection:

A Decade of Dedication

Bring your pain and your loneliness; your very human messiness
And take shelter under our canopy of unapologetic orangeness.
Know that though, at present, you’re lacking your vibrance
We’ll share ours through understanding, friendship and guidance.
Let our brightness add lightness and bring sense to your thoughts
As you shelter beside us and gather support,
For we have a decade of dedicated experience
Which will help you rediscover your hope and resilience.
Your loss is profound and we see your humanity
As you accept that grief has love as a canopy.
Stand under our umbrella until sunshine breaks the storm
And become assured that the love left behind will keep you warm.

🤍 Further to my two posts in June regarding Direct Cremation, T. Allen Funeral Service have made a short video demonstrating the care and reverence paid to your loved one during a Direct Cremation arranged through a Funeral Directors you find in your community.

🤍 An online commercial company with a huge advertising campaign would not use the front door to the chapel let alone spend time in there.

🤍 If you are considering a Direct Cremation for your self or a loved-one, please visit your local Funeral Director for guidance.

🤍 You are NOT a burden on your family!

🤍 This brings feedback on a slightly different service I provide: The Commemorative Script.

🤍 There may be someone at the funeral who didn’t quite hear everything - maybe the battery went on their hearing aid or they weren’t feeling well or they had to pop out for a while. Maybe someone couldn’t make the funeral due to distance or illness.

🤍 Every family I support through a funeral / memorial receives a beautifully formatted script of everything that was said during the ceremony; a keepsake.

🤍 The older the person is when they die, the more likely it is that friends and family are unable to attend. It’s nice for them to know how their loved-one was remembered and they have an opportunity to learn something new about them too.

🤍 This was one of a couple of thank yous I received from this family and I am so glad the Commemorative Script came in useful.

🤍The Dragonfly is one of the logos of

🤍The symbolises change and transformation. It represents the vibrancy and lightness of “being”.

🤍Dragonflies are associated with the “realm of light”; the ethereal and transcendental realm where the veil between the living and the dead is seen to be thin and multidimensional.

🤍Representing regeneration, transition and change, they remind us that old energy space must be cleared for new energy to emerge and thrive.

🤍I see this as the living embracing the lessons of our loved-ones and keeping their legacy alive in our behaviour and intentions.
