Take a Moment to Breathe
Grief can feel all-consuming. It’s perfectly okay to pause, take a breath, and allow yourself and your family time to process. There’s no rush to make decisions immediately—lean on your loved ones for comfort and support.

Gather Essential Information
When you’re ready, start collecting key details about your loved one, such as:
- Their full name and date of birth
- Any pre-arranged funeral plan details (if applicable)
- Personal touches like favorite songs, readings, or cherished memories
We’ll help walk you through the necessary documents and decisions, allowing you to take things at your own pace.
Involve Family and Friends
Lean on your support network. Sharing memories, planning together, or simply being there for one another can be incredibly healing. Remember, everyone grieves in their own way, and coming together can provide strength during this time.
