Why have a funeral?

Hosting a small funeral for a loved one supports families and close friends who may otherwise struggle on their journey through grief.


According to a group of Baltimore-based mental health professionals, with 20+ years of experience in grief and bereavement; ‘...A funeral is a place to start your grieving with those who will be grieving with you in the weeks, months, and years to come.  'It can be a really important ritual and the first step for so many people, and as much as you may be dreading it, you may be surprised at the comfort you find in meeting people you may never have known were touched by your loved one in some way.’ Messages back to your family, following a live streaming, can be just as helpful as if these people personally attended the funeral. Hosting a small funeral for a loved one, (with or without Live streaming and DVD recording), supports families and close friends who may otherwise struggle on their journey through grief.
