Today there is a real need for more information about funerals, the services funeral directors provide, and what happens when someone dies. Our unique understanding of the families we serve and the research within our community demonstrates this. There is also a need for families to be so much more involved, informed, and a part of the process and decisions that need to be made. This book is designed to help you and your family achieve this.

Because death and the prospect of losing someone we love is very difficult to think about and a very hard subject to discuss, most families do not talk about it before the event. As a result, we find ourselves having to make the difficult decisions when someone dies. We are very tired, emotional, and hurting. On the worst day of our lives, we have to make a multitude of decisions and make them quickly.

There is only ever one chance to celebrate and honour the life of the person you love. At the Russell Firth Funeral Group we want you, as our client, to be able to look back, though sometimes painfully, and remember that experience with the self assurance and confidence that you have done all you could to make the funeral a unique, personal, and cherished day for your family. We are here to help you do that.

We present you with this website as the first step in that process.

We encourage you to complete the forms and place it with your personal and important papers. By doing that, your own clear instructions and personal wishes can give insight and assistance to those you love, who will care for you at that time.
