There is no easy way to bring up this topic: funerals. It’s not something we want to discuss over a nice dinner, nor is it a topic that lends itself to easy and casual conversation. That’s why this month’s Empowered Seniors Speakers Series presentation had a great deal of value. Sarah Sunnucks, Smith's compassionate and experienced funeral director (and mom of 5!) shared insights about the funeral industry and provided information about options, legal compliance, and planning.
Capturing the essence of an entire life in a single event when one is grieving can be challenging. Apart from making decisions, there are many legal issues that need to be handled. It can be overwhelming to manage grief while taking care of all the preparations and the aftermath of a death. Being prepared and knowing what steps to take (and in what order!) can ease some of the stress of a funeral.
