Help with a funeral

When someone dies, a family is handed a long list of decisions in a very short time. I take the day of the service off that list, so you can be with the people you love.

How I help a family

  • I listen first. Tell me about the person and the service you want. There is no form to fill in on the first call.
  • I work with the people you already have. Your funeral home cares for your loved one and handles the legal steps. Your pastor leads the service. I look after everything around it.
  • I set up the room. Chairs, flowers, the memorial table, the guest book and the programs, all where you want them.
  • I stay for the day. I greet guests, keep things on time, and answer the questions that would otherwise go to you.
  • I clean up. Your family leaves without carrying a thing.

The repast

After the service, people need somewhere to sit down together. I set up the hall, bring the food or work with your church kitchen team, serve it, and clean up. Your family sits with everyone else.

Paying for it

Funeral costs arrive all at once, usually when a family is least ready. You can pay a deposit now and the rest later, or split the total into 3 payments. I send the invoice by text or email, and you pay from your phone.
