Welcome to Funerals and
Flowers, your source for
help with the funeral process. Whether planning a funeral, saying
a final farewell, ordering special products to handling the
tremendous amount of grief and sadness many of us are confronted
with, we are here to assist you. Whether you are looking to
pre-plan a funeral, or need service immediately and need funeral
ideas - we will take you through the process step-by-step. We want
to help you to avoid feeling pressured to buy products and
services you don't really want or need - to also help you avoid
the emotional overspending that oftentimes accompanies the deep
feeling of loss. And let me begin by saying that I am very sorry
for your loss and hope that in this time of grieving that you have
family and friends around you to help with this difficult period
in your life. I often find comfort in the following poem by Mary Elizabeth Fyre
when attending a funeral for a friend or family member and I would
like to share an ounce of this comfort with you:

Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glints on snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight
I am the soft stars that shine at night
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there, I did not die.
