"To lose someone you love is to alter your life forever. The pain stops, there are new people, but the gap never closes. This hole in your heart is the shape of the one you lost - no one else can fill it." - Jeannette Winterson
When a loved one dies we have to consider the expectation of our grief versus the reality. Our mourning may feel different than how we expected it to feel. A funeral service, or celebration of life, can look like many different things. It may be more traditional within the church or funeral home; or it could be a community picnic, a family dinner, or even a special time set-aside for a phone call. Love and support are shown in many different ways, and there is no wrong way to honor the lives of our loved ones. Through this shared time together, we allow our family and friends to help us knit together shared memories of happy times, silly times, angry times, and sad times to create an emotional comfort blanket that can warm and ease us during this time of loss.

The head panel is the part of the casket that opens above the deceased, and is commonly on display during funerals, wakes, and viewings. Some choose to personalize the panel with an emblem or even a detailed picture that represents the loved one, and these are typically embroidered on.
