Hi Jenny
I would agree with most of your comment concerning team approach,from what I can gather they have a meeting on Fridays were individual cases may or may not be decided on and then you have to fight your corner.
If you go in to my profile,you can e-mail me personally as I feel when you are dealing with individual consultants its better to…[Read more]

Hi Bridget
It did not seem a trauma at the time,more unbelievable,Slim was ready to let the whole thing go,but looking back he was already in a great deal of pain because he was wrongly diagnosed.
As I was not married to Slim at the time there was only so much I could do,his mum was a very difficult woman,she seemed to upset anybody in here…[Read more]

Hi all

Most funerals that I attended, the loved one has always been at home. The clergy and mourners are at the home (and outside). The service is done there. My mum was at home for 3 days. Only thing I didn't like was that for months after the funeral my dads house smelled of wreaths – chrysanthemum – I hate them now. Won't have them around…[Read more]

Hi Everyone
I like the thought of bringing loved ones home,as a child I remember my nan in the parlour,it seemed very natural as a child.

A year September Slims mum died,we had taken a funeral plan out in case we were in nz,as he is an only child we wanted all the arrangements done in case we were away costing £3000.
She was in care and a…[Read more]

Hi Mavis
Thank you for your reply,must admit did not realise were the money went concerning,the burial fee.
I hope your not offended with any of my comments,it is just a general observation,I seem to be hitting funerals a lot lately,at an age were you go to more funerals than weddings:-S
I do envy people who have a faith,as it must be a great…[Read more]
