Most of us plan ahead in life. We plan for our wedding, our children's education, family vacations, and other significant expected life events. We also plan for the unexpected events of life by purchasing home, auto and medical insurance. Understanding the benefits of pre-planning has prompted many to take the step to plan their own arrangements.
Many who have undergone the emotional strain of arranging a funeral within hours of losing a loved one have made the choice to pre-plan their own funeral. Doing so lifts the burden from their loved ones by relieving decision-making pressure at a time of grief and emotional stress. Funeral arrangements are a deeply personal choice.
Most of us are not prepared to plan and carry out a funeral ceremony for someone we love. And so much of the information available on this critically important subject fails to focus on what is most important: having a personalized, meaningful funeral that helps families and friends begin the healing process of mourning after the death of someone we love.
Someone you love has died. You are now faced with the difficult, but important, need to mourn. Mourning is the open expression of your thoughts and feelings regarding the death and the person who died. It is an essential part of healing. The following articles provide many practical suggestions to help you move toward healing in your unique grief journey.

I would give zero stars if possible. I ordered flowers for my daughter for her birthday from an online florist site. I picked out the red rapture bouquet because it had all red flowers and thats what my daughter loves. When they were delivered they looked nothing like i ordered, not even close to what i ordered. The arrangement was supposed to be nothing but red flowers, when my daughter got the delivery she took a picture with them and sent it to me and there were yellow, pink and white flowers in the vase. Now do not get me wrong they were pretty but again not what I ordered, i contacted the

Terrible customer service! The guy was extremely rude and condescending. I have been ordering flowers online for my mom for years and have never had such a bad experience before. The flowers he sent to my mom looked NOTHING even remotely close to what I had ordered. The guy had the nerve to call me and go off on me like it was my fault..?? Unbelievable how unprofessional he was. Ended up ordering again but through a different florist so that my mom could get the flowers she deserved!

I wish I could rate them 10 stars! Without giving too much detail, let's just say they had a challenge because the deceased family member had to be flown to another state. And, the prepaid burial spot in that state had some scandal that could have made it difficult to fulfill a promise to the deceased. Well, that wasn't going to deter Murphy Funeral Home. They got everything straightened out and made all the arrangements. The whole process went smoothly, and they made sure the deceased's family had no worries. They coordinated with the funeral home that was to receive the deceased. They ensured

Genuinely shocked by the lack of professionalism displayed by the florist who delivered a sympathy bouquet. After handing me my flowers, I was asked to hear a bit of "advice" from him.
He proceeded to show me - and the other people in my home - the entire invoice from the person who purchased me the flowers, showing me and my friend how much the person paid and then he read the note out loud, not knowing if it was personal or not. He complained that the flowers were ordered online and that I needed to inform the buyer that meant they were ripped off and that he did not receive the full amount
