Let's Do This! Can a Funeral Home Blog Make Sense of the Experience?
Macon Funeral Home • Oct 28, 2019
It may just seem like the thing to do, but we believe our new blog can add value and insight into readers' lives. Here's how:
Communicating News
News of someone's passing is not only a personal matter for family and friends, but also a public matter for the community that loses one of its citizens. People frequently read the obituary pages
in the newspaper and online, and our blog is designed to be an extension for telling import stories so that we can acknowledge or remember those who have come before us.
Expressing Our Thoughts
Loss is difficult, but not always tragic. We think it's important to give voice to circumstances that enrich our lives and provide meaning. After all, some stories are inspiring. We are each part of a family history but we also share a common bond in our communities. We want to make sure that we reflect who we are, not just whom we've lost.
Being a Part of Our Community
We are part of the community and share rich connections to families and friends, businesses and colleagues. We also believe in civic duties and services that go well beyond our profession. We don't do it for recognition, but rather for the gratification of helping others and making our community stronger and better.
Managing Change
Nothing stays the same, and that's one more reason we've taken this step. We want to keep abreast of trends and provide insights into how people grieve and heal after losing a loved one. We think that we can provide credible advice for what's appropriate and fitting as customs and funeral services evolve.
Thanks for reading. We hope you'll stay in touch or follow us on Facebook. If we can provide any form of help or advice — or you think there is something we ought to be addressing — please do not hesitate to reach us.
You're cordially invited to join us on Dec. 8, 2022 from 3 pm to 7 pm for our Service of Remembrance to honor loved ones. The Holidays offer tremendous power and poignancy in remembering those we've lost.
Macon Funeral Home is pleased to welcome Ashley Matthews, who recently joined our staff as a Funeral Assistant. Ashley has the attributes and compassion for helping families deal with the difficulty of loss.
Our office administrator Tori McKay explains the inspiration for bringing Mochi, a grief therapy dog, to Macon Funeral Home to assist families coping with loss.
A SPECIAL SERVICE IN PICTURES: This year's Service of Remembrance was held at Macon Funeral Home on December 2nd. The annual event is designed to help families both grieve and celebrate life through the act of remembering and shared fellowship.
Macon Funeral Home warmly invites families who've lost a loved one to join us in a special Service of Remembrance this Friday, December 6, 2019 at 6:00 PM.
