Losing a loved one is an incredibly challenging and emotional experience. As funeral directors, our mission is to guide you through the difficult process that follows the passing of a dear family member or friend. In this blog, we’ll provide a comprehensive guide on what steps to take when somebody dies, offering practical advice and support during this trying time.
We understand the importance of open and honest communication about end-of-life preferences. Whilst discussing final wishes can be a sensitive topic, it is a crucial conversation that can bring peace of mind and ensure that one's desires are honoured. In this post, we'll explore the art of broaching the subject of death with loved ones and offer guidance on how to make these conversations more comfortable and meaningful.
Something will be missing this Christmas season.
For the first time in 70 years, Queen Elizabeth 11 will not be bringing us a message of hope and good cheer on Christmas Day. That has been a tradition for many and I for one will miss it, and her. I’m sure King Charles will eloquently continue the custom, but somehow it just won’t be the same.
As a funeral director, it's important to be aware of the challenges that people who have lost a loved one may face during the festive season. For many, Christmas is a time of joy and celebration, but for those who are grieving, it can be a difficult and painful time.
Words can fail us sometimes, when the magnitude of a situation is so sad like losing a loved one. Our thoughts and prayers from everyone at Viner & Sons are with the Royal family at this time, but also with anyone else who has lost someone close to them and is having to plan a funeral.
The team at Viner and Sons were joined by their colleagues from The Drawing Rooms, Viners on the Hill and Hogben and Partis in welcoming Angel Training yesterday. 11 members of staff across all sites took part in a First Aid at Work course. Everyone was successful in their course so we have enough qualified first aiders should any incidents arise.
