Reporter Script:
Discussing death can be a challenging and sensitive topic for many Canadians. However, embracing and engaging in meaningful conversations around personal legacy and end-of-life wishes can help with the grieving process.
While a traditional or religious funeral service may be the right choice for some, it may not be the ideal option for others.
Increasingly, people are choosing a “celebration of life” that centres on the impact and enduring legacy of the departed.
Scott Lockwood of Arbor Memorial funeral homes and cemeteries, adds.
Spokesperson Quote:
Over 90 per cent of Canadians recognize the importance of sharing their end-of-life wishes, but less than half have spoken about them with their loved ones. While it is a sensitive topic, it is important to have these conversations while we can. Taking care of the details ahead of time also provides comfort for your loved ones during a tough time.
