Make this a Self-Care Day

Sometimes we get ourselves caught up in the frantic pace of today’s world and become so tied to our to-do lists we don’t give ourselves the much-needed time to reenergize and reset our internal clocks.

Why not make today a self-care day. Be a bit selfish and do what sooths your soul. Don’t feel that you have to please everyone. Own responsibility for what is yours, and not what others expect from you.

Start your day with positives and gratitude. Meditate to clear your mind. Reach out to your favourite people. Keep it simple. Go for a long walk with your dog. Have a chat with a stranger about a light hearted subject. Sit in the sun. Relax and enjoy your favourite beverage or dessert. Don’t rush because you have other matters to tend to. Slow it down.

Focus on the moment and on yourself. Be kind to yourself.

Remember this feeling… the one you get when taking a dose of self-care. Committing to a regular practice of self-care holds benefits for your mind, body and soul. Feeling good is a decision away.

True self-care is not salt baths and chocolate cake; it is making the choice to build a life you don’t need to regularly escape from.

It’s Important to Bring their Picture

When you meet with us to make arrangements for your loved one, you will be asked to provide a photo of them to be used for the death notice. The photo chosen can be recently taken or one from the distant past. Some families bring a pic of their beloved dressed formally, while others give us a more casual image. Sometimes we receive a few pictures to use to show the deceased at different points in their life.

We primarily use images to help us complete our online obituary listing. Families can either provide a hard copy photograph or an electronic file. We will work with either format and enhance the image as needed. Sometimes we will crop it so that it presents well graphically.

Bringing a favourite photo of a loved one to the initial meeting will save some of the back and forth that often occurs, and will allow the obituary to be posted at an earlier time.

If you have questions about choosing and providing photos, contact us. We can easily walk you through what works best.

We can Arrange an In-Home Appointment for You

Knight Funeral Home offers in-home appointments. We can assist you with ‘at time of need’ funeral arrangements and prearrangements. Also, did you know that consumer regulations allow you to move prearranged services from one funeral home to another?

Sometimes mobility issues don’t allow an individual or family members the ability to visit with us at our location. Some families do not wish to go to a funeral home for various reasons. It may be that this causes them sadness or they are uncomfortable in this type of environment. In an effort to provide convenience to families under our care we provide two options. If you wish to meet at our location, we can schedule a meeting… alternately, we can meet at your residence if that is preferred. Yes, we will come to you.

A member of our team, funeral director Dale Patterson has been meeting with Sarnia and Lambton County families for more than 40 years. For families choosing to schedule an in-home appointment, he will bring all the necessary forms and paperwork. From there, various scenarios are explored with the goal of achieving an outcome that meets the family’s needs.

We are pleased to provide this unique service… yes, home appoints are an option through Knight Funeral Home. We are here for you in many ways.

If you have questions or wish to set up an appt, please call us at
(519) 862-2845.

April is Cancer Awareness Month

Spring has sprung with a mix of colourful flowers popping out of the ground, but none more significant than the yellow daffodil. For the last 65 years, Canadians have rallied around the yellow flower to make life better for people living with cancer.

Cancer remains the leading cause of death in Canada. It knows no social, cultural, religious or geographical boundary. The disease has touched everyone, whether it be ourselves, a loved one, a friend, a neighbour or a complete stranger we read about on social media. Because of its crushing physical, emotional and financial impact, a collaborative effort is necessary to reduce its burden on patients, families, communities and health-care systems.

Canadian Cancer Statistics:
• Over 1.5 million Canadians are living with and beyond cancer today.
• Nearly half of all Canadians are expected to be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime.
• Breast, prostate and colorectal cancers account for nearly half of all cancers in Canada.
• Approximately 64 per cent of people are expected to survive at least five years after their cancer diagnosis. This is up 55 per cent from the early 1990s and a further 25 per cent from the 1940s.

A hallmark of Cancer Awareness Month is the Canadian Cancer Society’s Daffodil Campaign. This annual initiative helps fund life-saving research to create more tomorrows and provides a support system to ensure no one faces cancer alone.
