Cecere Family Funeral Home

"Spending even a little private time with the body helps mourners acknowledge the reality of the death and begin to make the arduous transition from having a re...lationship of presence with the person who died to one of memory. And holding any kind of immediate ceremony is helpful, even if it’s online or an intimate graveside committal." - A great read from Alan Wolfelt via The Funeral Leader #MustRead #ReadThis #FuneralsMatter See more

It goes without saying that the average person does not attend funeral services on a regular basis. If you are feeling apprehensive about how to act, what to sa...y, or what to do when meeting with those who are grieving, you are not alone. Never underestimate how much it means for you to simply be present to those experiencing a loss. Your physical presence sends a message of support in their time of need. Similarly, if you are unable to attend, a sympathy card, a telephone call or other form of communication lets these persons know you care.

"Grieving and recovery from pain are processes that require you to take action to progress through them. Deciding to run away and try to hide from the natural p...rogression of these processes will only delay your healing."
