Saying Goodbye to a Loved One

My name is Chris. Welcome to my funeral blog. Not many people like to think about death, but when a loved one passes away, it is time to face up to things. The biggest job is organising the funeral. When my mother passed away, it was down to me to organise the funeral. I was overcome with grief so I found it very difficult to think about the type of funeral my mother would have wanted.
