A funeral marks the end of the life of a person and is an important ceremony. Here we outline some important practical things to think about at a time when you are looking for funeral ideas and focused on your grief.

One to two weeks prior to death, disorientation becomes more evident. Sleeping is more prevalent. My mother spent an increased amount of time sleeping and became uncommunicative, unresponsive, and difficult to arouse at times. This is in part was due to changes in the metabolism of the body. Our loved one processes his or her life with the eyes closed which is the reason for the increase of sleep. The patient can hear what we say so no negativity is accepted. He or she is preparing for their death in a quiet environment.

Don't spend all your energy organizing the funeral without taking time out for just you - to mourn, to grieve. Keeping yourself busy may be helping, but waiting until after the service isn't the answer either.

"I am not possessed by a demon," he said. (John 8:49) "I tell you the truth, before Abraham was, I am!" (John 8:58) He was declaring to them that he and the Father were one in their eternal nature. They were enraged by this truth and commenced to pick up stones and tried to kill him but he escaped.

Having reached my sixties, death is becoming a more and more familiar companion - it is no longer something that happens to grandparents or parents - it is now something that often happens to peers. A surprising number of my friends have also lost children to various calamities.

Who would forget Nathaniel Adams Coles or famously known as Nat "King" Cole? He was a famous jazz musician and singer of his time and first African-American to host his own TV Variety show (The Nat King Cole Show 1956). He was diagnosed and died from lung cancer at age 45.

Grandparents - particularly - avidly collect cards and artwork from their grandchildren. Have you ever met a grandparent who throws away a single picture or letter from a grandson or daughter? Well, these items can also also be included in the funeral slideshow to demonstrate how loved and honored the person was in life.


This November - and every election day of your life - no matter what your political leaning, remember that countless men and women in every generation have died so that you will have a voice. Honor them by using that voice.
