Family members who might have been originally against filming the funeral (too intrusive) are often the ones who re-order more copies of the DVD as they love it so much, and finally ‘get it’. It gives them comfort, it gives them a sense of completion; and if they cry whilst watching the DVD, that’s ok too, it’s all part of the grieving process. Please don’t ask a family member or friend to film fo
r you, it’s quite unfair and places them under a lot of pressure, at a time when they should be there supporting YOU and dealing with their own grief. It’s YOUR job to grieve, it’s MY job to quietly preserve your precious memories. One more thing to remember; I meet many people who are very keen to have their parents funeral filmed, but a kindly or well-meaning person talks them out of it, or disagrees with filming the Service. Because they are undergoing enough stress as it is, and they don’t want to cause trouble or upset other members of the family, they then agree NOT to have the service filmed. It’s usually to their life-time regret. You can’t do it again, you can never look at it, you can never share it. I am aware that it is a sensitive subject, but I work for my client (you) and I can usually work around family members who do not wish to be filmed. I understand. Funeral Homes I worked with include:
•White Lady Funerals
•George Hartnett Funerals
•New Haven Funerals
•K M Smith Funerals
•Premier Funerals
•Cannon & Cripps
•Gregson & Weight Funerals
•Michael Hutchinson Funerals
•Metropolitan Funerals
•Alex Gow Funerals
