WHEN DEATH IS IMMINENT
PREPARING FUTURE ARRANGEMENTS

If a friend or loved one is seriously ill and expected to die in a matter of days or weeks, you may want to make funeral arrangements in advance.   Preparing in advance puts you in control.   It will make your meeting with a funeral director more productive when the time comes.  Some of the hard decisions can be made ahead of time so that after the loss, you need not have the added stress of making hard decisions at that sorrowful time.

The Undertaking -- what do Funeral Directors do Video


Telford's Burial & Cremation Centre (2009)

We are on Facebook!!!

I know that for many people, thinking about funerals and the work that I do to care for grieving families isn't easy.  But I am proud of the work that we do her at Telford's Burial & Cremation Centre which is why I'd like to invite you to watch a PBS Frontline documentary called The Undertaking.

In a unique and poignant way, "The Undertaking" offers you a glimpse into my world and depicts the care and compassion funeral directors everywhere provide every day.  After watching this program, which is filled with intimate, personal stories of families dealing with grief, mortality and the rituals of a funeral, you may want to know more about the value of a funeral, the work I do, and the importance of honoring a loved one.  If you, please call me or one of my experienced staff at Telford's Burial & Cremation Centre 250-245-5553 or 250-591-6644, 

We are here to help and we are available to answer any questions you may have at any time.
