How's everyone doing

If you're all OK with this we'll restart the what's anyone done today in a couple of weeks.

Hope you're all doing as well as you can under these circumstances, I'm enjoying looking at all the pictures you're posting, they really do brighten my day.

Currently my brother, sister and myself are arranging mum's funeral by phone, text & email, very surreal don't think we'll even meet the person taking the service until the day, through the funeral directors website we've chosen 6 floral tributes, although we only want one but we don't know what will be available, looks like we'll have to do the Order of Service as no hymn books will be available, and we've been asked if we could have a short service, and we're looking at a date at the end of this month.

My understanding is still 10 mourners but I took part in my reading group this morning and one of the group said it's now 50 people allowed, which is a very big jump.

Stay safe and well everyone

Hi Jenny,

I'm so sorry that you and your siblings are having to deal with your mother's passing at this difficult time. It sounds like you are planning a lovely service and I hope it all goes ahead as best as it possibly can. Thank you for sharing this and I hope you can have a very lovely rest of your day. Take care and stay safe.

I hope you are keeping well Jennymary. It must be quite difficult arranging everything over the phone and email. I'm sure you and your family will arrange a service your mum will be proud of. xx

Condolences Jenny to you and your family, sadly the number of mourners allowed at a funeral is still a maximum of ten(10) God Bless!

Hi Jennymary, I'm so pleased that you have some support in arranging your mum's funeral, as it's always a really difficult time, and would be extra hard at the moment. You seem to be doing really well, and I have to say I've been quite impressed with the way in which undertakers seem to be helping with innovative ways to deal with all that has to be done, and changed from normal.

I hope that you'll be able to arrange as much of what you wish as possible.

Take care and keep remaining well. 🙏

Oh dear Jenny,

My heart goes out to you and your family as my family were doing this last year. How much life has changed and I really don't know what else to say.

I miss my mum still everyday, but I am going to tell you a funny story and probably be taken down from this site forever!

We are Catholics and so we had a church service, but mum wanted to be cremated so there was a second service, I was so broken up and I really mean it that I couldn't do the second service so I said to my sister could you drop me off at the pub on the way, this is where we were holding the wake, so my sister said yes, what I didn't realise was as we were doing that the actual funeral car was behind so my send off to my mum was I really did take her to the pub! This is no lie and it did make people laugh.

My heart is with you at this time. D xx
