Making time for your own grief
At the time of arranging a funeral, it is not easy to realise the emotional benefit which can be gained by having somewhere to go, a place that you and your family can return to, allowing you to pay your respects to your loved one. It has been acknowledged that this can help the healing process after the funeral.
