As we journey through life, we form bonds, create memories, and experience emotions that shape our existence. Yet, as time passes, these memories can fade, particularly when we lose a loved one. This loss often leaves a deep emotional impact, sparking a desire to maintain a connection with the departed. We will explore 3 creative ways to remember and honour your loved ones, from completing their bucket list to immortalising them through poetry, music, or a memorial lantern. 

Losing a loved one is never easy, and planning a non-religious funeral can feel  overwhelming as there are no guidelines or tried and trusted procedures like there is with traditional religious funerals. However, personalising a funeral so that it honours, respects and celebrates the life of the person who has died often provides a much needed sense of closure and healing for everyone and it can add a special touch that makes it even more memorable.

 

Death is a difficult subject to discuss. Which is why many people are reluctant to talk about the outrageous cost of a funeral in the UK and the emotional distress that can be caused when there’s not enough money in the pot to pay for a decent send off. It’s important to be proactive and informed when planning a funeral. Understanding your options and your rights will help you make better choices that could save costs.
