Guidance

Also known as social graces, the rules of etiquette ease us through challenging social situations. Most of us know how to behave in common circumstances, but unless you've been to a lot of funerals you may not know the rules of proper behavior in this often uncomfortable social situation.

There are a number of considerations you can begin to understand in preparing yourself to attend a funeral. Many will help you be more poised and ready for a funeral, memorial or Celebration of Life.

Questions, questions, questions: we hear them all the time. It's only natural. Because life expectancies are longer and the personal experience of funeral services less frequent than it was 150 years ago, most people know less about funeral ceremonies than you might expect. If you're one of those inexperienced individuals, you'll be pleased to know we've put together this list of frequently-asked-questions just for you.
