Practical steps for funerals

Lodge Brothers Contact

English philosopher and statesman, Francis Bacon said “It is natural to die as to be born”.

The reality is that death is the natural culmination of all of life and affects everyone either directly, or indirectly at stages through our lives when we are faced with the passing of others. The desolation that the loss of a friend or loved one causes is profound and facing one’s own mortality can be distressing as well. It is not only the passing of friends and loved ones which affects our lives but the passing of global and cultural icons, such as Queen Elizabeth II, whose passing touch the heart of millions of people across the world in September of 2022.

At certain stages in history, the world has experienced death en mass, such as recently experienced because of the Covid-19 global pandemic which both shocked and stung many with the virus’s seemingly callous and unrelenting disregard for the very essence of humanity. No matter who we are, our time will come and when it does, it can ravish the lives of those left behind.

What can we do to mitigate the effects of our passing on others? There are practical steps which a person can take to make dealing with death easier, to a certain extent, for those left behind, easing the hurt and grief and allowing them the time to find the comfort they need to heal.

Here are three important, proactive things you can do to ease the strain on others when your time comes:

  1. plan your funeral which will give you the decision-making capacity to ensure all goes according to your wishes when the time comes. After all, you know yourself best and you know what will work for you and your family so taking things in hand will benefit all.
  2. Set up a meeting with funeral directors such as Funeral directors near Teddington, who are situated in several convenient locations across the UK for ease of access. Meetings can be done in person or alternatively online for ease of access. Lodge Brothers Funeral Directors Virginia Water are experts who oversee, plan and coordinate all phases of funeral services, including body preparation, visitations, ceremonies, burials or cremations, while delivering compassionate assistance and advice.

Team of dedicated attorneys

serviceLodge Brothers Legal services is a team of dedicated attorneys who specialise in assisting with Lasting Power of attorney, Wills and Probate services. Inspired by personal attention Lodge Brother Legal aims to provide practical and caring services to all who reach out to them in their time of need.

Where a person is taking the proactive approach to their end-of-life management, or planning ahead for the protection of their families, they can be assured that they will have all of their questions answered and be provided with answers to questions that they didn’t know they had yet.

A probate Guildford process is one which deals with the administrative side of a person’s estate once they are deceased. This is something that most people will need however which few are aware of. Reaching out to an attorney to assist you with the process is the fastest and most accurate way of making sure that all T’s are crossed, and I’s are dotted. The probate Ashford process is approved by the Probate Registry which must take place before the process can proceed. There are 2 types of probate Feltham processes which is dependant on whether or not the deceased person has left a valid Will, or not. As long as there is a valid Will, the Grant of Probate will be required if there is an executor of the estate. This is where it is beneficial to have consulted with Lodge Brother Legal attorneys in preparation of this time, as they will ensure that the Will is valid and they will then be able to be nominated as executor of your probate process, keeping it simple and in the right hands.

Should a person die without a Will or the Will is found or be legally invalid, the Probate Registry will need to provide a Grant of Letters of Administration. When a person passes under these circumstances, the person is deemed to have died intestate and the administration of their Will will fall to the legal system to establish the most correct way to administer the estate of the deceased. It is highly advisable for a person to have their Will drawn up by professional attorneys who will ensure that there are no loopholes which may raise questions as to the validity of their Will. Those who are caught short in this area may leave their estate in the hands of the courts and as such, may result in intended recipients of the estate to lose out on what you intended to provide for them after your death.

A lasting power of attorney will assist in situations where, should you fall victim to a situation which may render you powerless to speak for yourself and advise what you would like to happen in the event of your death, whether you would like to be considered an organ donor, whether you would like heroic actions in the event of resuscitation and general provide guidance as to how you would like to be treated medically should you not be of sound mind to do so on your own behalf.

Living a blissful and meaningful life

See the source imageMal Weeraratne, author of Emotional Detox through Bodywork, is the founder of the Tantric Journey, the school of Healing and Awakening and Emotional Detox and the School of Holistic Body Therapy. As founder of Tantric Journey and a pioneer of deep bodywork. Mal Weeraratne has worked in the field of Emotional Detox since 1994 and has treated over 3000 clients from the UK, USA, Europe and Asia.

As an expert in emotional detox Mal Weeraratne’s techniques are designed to assist you in releasing negative emotions which have been stored up within the physical body as a result of emotions and experiences we encounter throughout our lives. We subsequently build up belief systems which we then use as a guide for the rest of our lives, using them to “tell us” that, “based on xyz emotion / experience which we have had before” we should respond accordingly. Sometimes the residues of the emotions and experiences we have had before, will dictate to our bodies which will respond as if a trigger or even a reminder of previous experiences and emotions are real, even when they haven’t even occurred again. Our body remembers these past events and the accompanying stress, anxiety or negative feeling we felt at the time by storing negative emotions. A build-up of these negative feelings can lead us into mental, emotion or physical imbalance and subsequently diseases can form.

Detoxing the body of its emotional imbalances can result in improved physical, mental and emotional fitness and well-being being restored. Emotional detox will not only help remove the negative emotions which have been stored in the body but can also eradicate the underlying beliefs, patterns and behaviours which we develop to protect ourselves, when they are no longer required or serving us. Patterns which may have developed as a defence mechanism may no longer be required and yet the body’s innate responses may still be triggered, leaving us responding negatively to a situation which no longer requires the same heightened responses.

Facing the truth behind our emotions and behaviours can only be done once we clear the body of its attachment to them otherwise, we are assured of perpetuating these learnt responses time and time again, ensuring a self-sabotaging regime which brings unnecessary stress to our lives leading to disease. Once these emotions have been cleared, we have the ability to look within with enlighten clarity and reassess whether the beliefs we have learned to protect ourselves, are still required. Once we realise that this is no longer the case, we are able to move forward without recreating negative behaviours and patterns in our lives which Mal Weeraratne, world authority on Tantra and emotional release, says can offer deep and transformative healing for mind, body and soul. Mal Weeraratne had acknowledged that his powerful emotional detox technique, detailed in the Tantric Journey, allows both men and women to ‘’start living a blissful and meaningful life again that is free from the weight of past, negative trauma’’.

Rent a friend, male non-sexual escorts

My recent experience with Dukes of Daisy left a big impression on me. The whole experience was a pleasure from start to finish and this is a service I can not only highly recommend but will also be using again. As a businesswoman in my line of work, there is a lot of call for travel, both local and abroad and so I often find myself both working and travelling after hours and on weekends which leaves me very little time for socialising. On this particular trip, I found myself in a small village in England; the type with a strong community orientation and many local events and outings for anyone to join. The village, mostly older, retired couples, homed just 2 pubs and a community hall.

As it happened, I ended up staying longer in the village than originally anticipated, which included the need to stay over a weekend. I decided to make the best of it and use the time to get out and try see some of the area since I had the time. Travelling fast becomes unappealing when done on one’s own and so too does site-seeing! With this in mind I decided to try the Dukes of Daisy service to find a non-sexual male friend to accompany me on my adventure.

Having heard favourable reports of the Dukes of Daisy service from a friend who had used the service several times to connect with a non-sexual friend, I decided to see if there was anyone available in the area. The website was easy to use and there were many non-sexual date options for me to choose from, which was quite a delight. The profiles were all lovey and it was easy to see who would be a good companion to spend the time with. Soon after reaching out to a number of the male escorts, I received replies from two who were available for the date that I had in mind. After a brief conversation I made my choice and extended an invitation which was quickly accepted! Easiest date ever!

Rent a Friend UK

My rent a date lived close-by and was happy to collect me so that we could take leisurely, winding drive around hills and farms on the tiny roads, designed for 1 car at a time and framed by the most glorious trees, for miles on end. Our destination was the well-known town of Shere, which is famous for its pretty lanes, picturesque houses and an idyllic churchyard, all of which have been featured in hundreds of movies of the past years. What a thrill it was to enjoy the unseasonal spring sunshine in the local tea garden next to the river. Who could ask for more? My companion was delightfully funny and easy to talk to which made the outing even more pleasant. After strolling around the town, we made our way back to the village I was staying. My companion left me with a happy wave having also enjoyed the day’s outing as much as I had. So glad that I reached out to Dukes of Daisy and looking forward to doing it again.

When a family member passes, it is time of great importance as it is the end of a life which is both mourned and celebrated.  Having a funeral or memorial service is an important way to ensure that those who remain behind are able to both mourn and celebrate the loved one as part of their grieving process. The rituals which we attach to the passing on from this life, no matter your religious background, culture of belief, facilitates closure which helps those who may be struggling to let go. Funerals are your very last chance to meaningfully say goodbye to your loved one which means that funerals are by, nature, very emotional.  However we also know too well that there is a time for all of us, to leave our families. A time which one should prepare for in advance.

Marquees for sale, party tents for sale & heavy duty marquees for sale | DIY Marquees

Nothing tops a proper English country garden on a warm and sunny Spring afternoon. At the end of a long Winter season, many look forward to the respite that the Springtime brings, from the rain, clouds and chilly winds. My client was on the look out for the perfect venue for his daughter’s Spring wedding which he wanted to host in a garden filled with roses and daffodils and he and his wife pictured how lovely the garden would be with plump grey doves flying in across the skyline and making themselves at home on the garden wall which their guests walked up the brown pebbled driveway from a walled garden which provided ample parking. Fortunately, the couple had located just the place in a village in Hampshire which was able to accommodate their need for a large, flat green garden patch on which to erect a 4 x 12m premium marquee which we had identified as the perfect option for the wedding.

    

As someone who has experience with providing marquee options for many clients over many years, it is always exciting to find an exciting, never-before seen venue! Although it did mean that I had to ensure that the venue was just right for the marquee and that the right marquee was used in case of, what is quite common this time of year, unseasonal weather changes. After inspecting the venue and measuring the area to ensure that the marque size would work in the space available, I informed the client that everything would be in order.

With a perfectly flat piece of land to erect the marquee on, the job was an easy one. If there had been any hills to negotiate, I knew that I could always refer to the DIY Erecting videos which have been provided as a free resource on the DIY Marquees website. I have been a client of DIY Marquees ever since I began my entrepreneurial endeavours as a freelance events co-ordinator. Having my own marquees allows me the flexibility I need to offer my clients the perfect venue almost anywhere in the country, regardless of location or the weather. Having done my research on the DIY Marquee website, I have been able to educate myself on the best marquee for specific occasions and seasons. The information on the website is generous and covers everything that one could possibly think about knowing about marquees, their sizes, features from add-ons to heating, decorating and preparation areas, they have a suitable solution or suggestion for all.

the diy party tent range

Excellent quality marquees which are guaranteed to withstand the weather considerations are extremely useful to have for anyone in a similar business. Someone in the market for a purpose-specific marquee can investigate the available options by using the DIY Marquee buyers guide along with the interactive planner which provides you with the tools required to test to see how many people, chairs, tables and features one would be able to host in the specific size marquee they may have in mind. DIY Marquees offer a simple and exciting alternative to your usual indoor venues with far more flexibility.
