It's Your Funeral!

More and more these days, people seem to find themselves wanting to pay honour and respect to the surviving family and friends of a deceased person, only to discover that "at the request of the deceased, there will be no funeral/memorial/service".

This approach has the unhappy result of leaving those beloved survivors confused and wondering how to both honour and grieve for their friend/family member who has died.  They feel compelled to do something to express their emotions at this tender time, but don't want to disrespect the stated request of their loved one.

What about you?  Are you uncertain about how to guide your family and friends in some form of remembrance in the event of your death?

Join Rev. Lee Sinclair at St. Cyprian's on Saturday, October 4 (1:30 - 3:30 p.m.), for "It's Your Funeral" -- a short workshop on funeral planning.  Learn about your options for spiritual expression, what's permitted re: disbursement or burial of the deceased (or ashes), and how to guide your survivors so they can honour your wishes in a manner designed to comfort them and honour you.
