We encourage you to read this section with your family so that each of you may share your thoughts and ideas for the funeral. By inviting everyone, including children, to help plan or take part in the service, you show them that their feelings matter.

This is a time to be understanding of each other's needs. You are each experiencing grief and loss in your own way. Be gentle with each other. Accept each other's feelings and use this opportunity to share them.

You may face the challenge of balancing your loved one's dying wishes with your own needs as mourners. Know that it is okay to put the needs of your family first. Seek to fulfil the essence of your loved one's wishes, rather than the specific details.
