Johnson's Funeral Home

We walk many paths during our lifetime, punctuated by twists and turns. And if we are lucky, we are accompanied by a loved one on this journey. But what do we do when our loved one passes away and disappears from our side?

Transitions in life are often painful, especially when they involve the death of a loved one. Wherever our path may lead, we can choose to carry their memory with us as we move forward. Their memory becomes a part of us and may be integral in defining who we are.

By acknowledging our pain, taking time to grieve, and seeking support, we can continue to press forward while keeping the memory of our loved one alive in our mind and in our heart.

The purpose of a funeral procession (cortège) is to allow family and friends the opportunity to show respect to the deceased. The word cortège literally means “to pay honor.”

As cities grow and populations increase, funeral processions are becoming less common. Instead, funeral attendees are often instructed to obey all traffic laws and proceed to the cemetery in an orderly fashion.

In smaller communities where circumstances allow, a funeral procession gives community members the opportunity to show respect by taking a moment out of their busy day to slow down or pull over as someone’s loved one takes their final earthly journey. A well-lived life that has come to an end is of value and deserves our respect and reverence.

If you have questions concerning funeral processions in our area, please contact us at (502) 863-3550.

Losing someone we love is arguably one of the most stressful events we will ever endure.

Experts recommend journaling through grief - pouring out our feelings onto paper allows us to release our pain and facilitate the healing process.

There is no right or wrong way to journal. Spiral notebooks, composition books, or sketchbooks allow you the freedom to be yourself without worrying about penmanship, spelling, or grammar.

Benjamin Franklin once wrote a letter that included what many believe to be his last great quote, “Our new Constitution is now established, everything seems to promise it will be durable; but, in this world, nothing is certain except death and taxes.”

Although the concept of pairing death and taxes certainly existed prior to his writing, the publication of Franklin’s papers in 1817 catapulted the statement to the forefront of American pop culture.

Once we reach adulthood, taxes are a constant in our lives. Death, on the other hand, seems to touch our lives less frequently, but more dramatically.

Statistically, the average adult will be responsible for making final arrangements for a loved one approximately 1.6 times during their lifetime. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the most common age range for losing a parent is between the ages of 50-54.

Death is an inevitability that will touch us all. As such, wise individuals prepare for this event by having open conversations with family members and taking the time to plan ahead with a funeral home. Pre-planning allows you to place your wishes in writing and personalize your service.

We’re here to help you plan ahead for yourself or for a loved one. To begin this important process, contact us today at (502) 863-3550.
