Consider ohese ohoughts by Debbie J. Thompson Owner/Funeral Director/CPC DELIVERING UNWELCOME NEWS No one is more aware of the shock and grief that comes with hearing of the death of a loved one than those who must deliver the news. The person on whom this responsibility falls may want to create a list and divide it with someone else of equal standing in the family. In any case, it may be a good idea to have someone else present when making the calls. Consideration should also be given to the fact that, as difficult as it is to disseminate such news, it may be more traumatic to receive it. With this in mind, it may be preferable to deliver the news in person when circumstances allow. The funeral director can offer guidance. It is our mission to provide support and guidance in recognizing a life well-lived and to assist our community in celebrating the memories of their loved ones. In doing this, we will care for each family with respect and dignity, as if they were our own. A funeral service can mark the significance of the life that was lived. To learn more, please call or visit our beautiful funeral home. Our staff is committed to providing your family with the highest quality care and service in your time of need Celebrating Lives and Healing Hearts.
