Death Of A Loved One

When my family has experienced the death of a loved one, we’ve been deeply grateful – and have really liked – the funeral directors who showed they care by making time to get to know us and our loved one.

When you sit down for the arrangement conference, there is basic information you have to obtain for the death certificate, obituary and other paperwork. It’s something that has to be done; there’s no way to avoid it.

The thing is, my loved one means more to me than their date and place of birth, the names of his or her parents and their occupation.

I know you’ve heard this a million times from people who have far more expertise in this profession than I, but ask me about my loved one, who he or she was and why they mattered to me.

Ask me what I won’t forget about him or her and how I want to remember them. Let me tell you about my loved one in a way that doesn’t involve facts and figures and vital statistics. Let me talk and share their story.

Do you take time when arranging a funeral with a family or are you a clock watcher.
