Honour

It is an emotional time when undertaking someone's last wishes, for they are not able to do this for themselves. One is caring for the deceased's last requests once they have gone. It is an honour not to be taken lightly, nor faltered in, nor allowing oneself to depart from the brief by those left behind. It can be an onerous task but, also, a most rewarding task to ensure that all is as it should be. It is emotional for all concerned and can cause consternation and upset BUT, one should always remember that if you are undertaking the last wishes of those no longer here, you are fortunate to be alive, as are those around you. Do not sway from the path you have been set, it is not yours to deviate from; yours will come in turn but, let us hope for your sake that, it is a long time coming and life is to be lived.

We have lost two most loved members of our family in the last year. Their last wishes where possible adhered to; one completed, one nearing completion. It is the last respect we can pay our beloved deceased.
