There are many people who are afraid that just thinking about death will shorten their life. On the contrary, talking openly about the end of our lives helps us to accept the realities of aging which can in turn, help us to live with less fear.

What do I mean by this?

Talking openly about the end of our lives helps us to focus on the important things; it can help us to clarify our lives. We are all going to die one day.

It is the one thing we all have in common. Going through the process of pre-arranging our own funeral helps us to deal with our mortality and can help us to live out our lives more fully.

Death care is being rewritten. Independent cremation and funeral services are opening all over BC, offering alternatives to what we know and have come to expect from funeral planning.

Most importantly, your pre-arranged funeral will give you peace of mind knowing you have carefully considered and finalized decisions that impact the legacy you will leave behind.

Your legacy is not just about the money you leave to others. It is also about the relationships that were maintained or healed along the way. 

It can also be about the stories and messages you have an opportunity to impart and leave for those who remain.

Considering and communicating how you want to mark the end of your life is an act of kindness and grace to those you will leave behind.
