The power of a farewell: why funerals matter

People need time to mourn the loss of family and friends. A meaningful farewell provides people with an important place to share in their grief and help the living say goodbye.

Helping children deal with grief

One of the most difficult situations adults have to face is telling children that someone they love has died.
