Eternal Rest - The Art of Dying Well

We are looking forward to another great session this morning. In this session, we discover the role of this sacramental anointing in the spiritual struggle during serious illness, in the final stages of our temporal life, and at the hour of our death.

We look forward to seeing you there.

𝐀. At Willow Tree Funerals, cremated remains are carefully collected, processed into fine ashes (typically 2-4kg), and returned to families within 7-14 days in a secure urn or container of your choice. We follow NSW guidelines to ensure respectful handling at every step.​

Your Options for Cremation Ashes in Sydney:
1. Keep at home: Store in elegant urns, scatter keepsakes among family, or create jewellery/memorials.
​2. Scatter meaningfully: On private land (with permission), beaches, or sea, check local council rules for public spots in Sydney.
3. Bury or garden: Use cemetery plots, memorial gardens, or eco-friendly options like tree pod urns. Some religions and cultures require ashes to be buried.​

Week 52: Acknowledge your progress and resilience over the past year. Set intentions for continued healing and growth.

Reaching Week 52 is a milestone, a moment to pause, breathe, and recognise how far you’ve come. Over the past year, you’ve faced memories, milestones, and emotions that once felt impossible to endure. Yet here you are — surviving, learning, and discovering new ways to carry love and loss side by side.

Take time to honour your resilience. Healing isn’t a destination; it’s a gentle unfolding. As you set intentions for the year ahead, focus on nurturing the connections, practices, and small joys that help you feel grounded and whole.

You’ve travelled a courageous path, may the next chapter bring peace, meaning, and continued growth. 🌿
