For the next number of Wednesdays, we'll be taking time to share key words and phrases in funeral service.

The arrangement conference may be the first time the family and funeral director have an opportunity to meet and discuss what services they may want.

It is a time of sharing, remembering and honouring the individual, well beyond gathering basic biographical and statistical information.

Today’s treasure was brought to us from a family we cared for recently. Their Mom had kept a scrapbook of local clippings, and amongst the pages was this notice that appeared in The Guardian in 1982.

Allison’s parents, Grace and Dewar Swan were married in a double wedding ceremony with Allison and Miriam West on September 9, 1942.

The two couples often travelled together and during their anniversary trip of 1973, they returned home to an extra special gift – their third granddaughter, Jodi.

Today’s social media posts serve as a digital scrapbook.
