We wholly deplore the current trend, or fad, for what are termed 'celebrations of life', believing that a funeral should be a time of bleakness and dry-eyed misery punctuated by platitudes mumbled by an ordained Minister of Religion attired in anachronistic garments smelling faintly of pipe smoke and old gravy. <br /><br />I, dear lady, would have withdrawn with the greatest alacrity and in the deepest dudgeon from your magic lantern presentation. It is with great sadness and no less indignation that I see you characterise and dismiss those of us who uphold the proud Standards and Traditions of our calling as 'crooners'. <br /><br />I trust, indeed I believe, that you will not prevail. It is my earnestly held conviction that Sense and Reason and the Timeless Values of my primordial Profession will reassert themselves among right-thinking people, and that you and your kind will be Utterly Confounded. <br /><br />O.

They feel they are protecting family’s from complications so they stick to what they know to do this. Most are fearful of anything they don’t understand and are not confident when faced with modern technology or new and innovative ideas. They also fear they have to manage these new requests and this is something they can’t face to do – i.e. the thought of a projectors and screen and 25 marching band just rings alarm bells to them because of pure logistics... <br /><br />It only takes a few of them to be brave to step out of the box while still keeping the respect of the industry and the others will follow in baby steps. I overheard a funeral director talking about Sentiment and staying how great it is being able to pass on elements of the funeral and knowing that it’s all under control! I was beaming with pride... that’s how I want the funeral industry to see Sentiment – <br /><br />The dinner really opened up my eyes and I see that it’s baby steps and assisting the FD’s in their job.. not taking it away from them. Working with them and gaining their trust that is my main objectiveSentimenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14371985746466662525noreply@blogger.com
