Leaving family or friends with this enormous responsibility, due to a lack of planning or inability to choose, may mean that someone else gets to choose for you. Taking on this responsibility for yourself, and not ignoring this (admittedly) large task, leaves your family and loved ones better off both financially and emotionally at the end of the day.

Parents can lead by example and show their children the value of being sufficiently preparing for when the time comes.

Planning a funeral can mean the end of a long road for some and for others; it can be because of something which merely came unexpectedly. Sometimes, it is simply the culmination of what is simply inevitable in the end.

ANGEL WING

Memorial Wings

There is more to planning a funeral that one might think because depending on the situation surrounding the passing of an individual, there are many attached logistical aspects, which must be circumnavigated, sometimes just to enable the deceased to be brought to their final resting place.

A mother of two young boys, suffers with a particularly determined cancer of the liver, survives with her illness for a period of years, which far out-lasts the predictions of medicine, through sheer grit and determination that she will experience as much of the lives of her children as physically possible. Unhappily, her body can only sustain her dreams for so long and she passes in hospital on a Thursday, surrounded by her loved ones. A senior citizen, much to everyone’s amazement, fights and survives a near-death experience which perplexes even his doctors, then suffer a repeat incident one year later at which time he is let-down by the same medical equipment that was once his lifesaver and is sent home to finish his days in the peace of his home.  A young man is struck by a drunk driver on his way home from the office, leaving his estate intestate and his partner unprotected by his without an inheritance.

Each of these scenarios requires the intervention of a Funeral Director who, from the moment of contact, knows exactly what needs to be done for the family to be able to walk away on the day of the funeral, with the knowledge that they have put their loved one to rest in the manner, which they deserve. Lodge Brothers funeral directors are dedicated to ensuring that they provide a service which is seamless however because not all funerals are planned, the Funeral Directors Ottershaw ambit ranges from establishing what a client’s needs are, by listening and understanding what it is that the family needs and then will arrange, coordinate and oversee the event. Where families have special requests such as pre-burial viewings, cremations or modern funeral experiences, Lodge Brothers will fulfil these needs.

In addition to the event itself, your Lodge Brother Funeral Directors Slough will facilitate all administrative and legal aspects attached to finalising the estate which is especially important where a will hasn’t been prepared. Lodge Brothers Funeral Directors Send are there for you from beginning to end.

What makes our marquees so high quality? Its all in the materials. DIY has years of experience with manufacturing and supplying marquees made from all varieties of materials and there is no doubt that while PVC materials are a little more expensive than PE or canvas, DIY Marquees knows that beyond a shadow of a doubt, that there is no reason to compromise quality for other inferior materials, which do not have half the life-span that PVC does. Meaning that you may invest a little more at the beginning, but your investment will last you twice as long, with less degeneration and repair costs down the line, and the marquee will stay strong for double the amount of time.

PCV, or Polyvinyl Chloride, is a high strength thermoplastic polymer which is used for a vast range of products, especially in the construction where strength and quality products cannot be sub-par.

Family members and friends who are not part of the family bubble who wish to travel in order to attend the funeral, should chose to stay in a hotel or guest house where they will not be exposed to other family members who may be isolating or in quarantine.
