Sonja Smith Elite Funeral Group

Today is WORLD STROKE DAY. In South Africa, stroke is the 2nd highest cause of death and in the Top 10 leading causes of long-term disability. Sadly, that means that many people die suddenly due to a stroke. What do you do if this happens to someone you love and they pass away at their home? 🕊️Your 1st contact is the Medical Doctor who last treated your loved one. 🕊️If satisfied with the Cause of Death, the MD will issue the Notification of Death which your appointed Funeral Director will collect this from the relevant medical authority. 🕊️Contact us once you have informed the MD. 🕊️If no foul play is suspected, your appointed Funeral Director may remove your loved one and liaise with the MD the next day. Get in touch with us at sonjasmith-funerals.co.za for all the information you need and to find the branch or franchise closest to you. #WorldStrokeDay #PassingAway #PassingAwayAtHome #PracticalInfo #SonjaSmithEliteFuneralGroup

There is no rulebook for grief. Swiss-American psychiatrist named Elizabeth Kübler-Ross, wrote that grief could be divided into five stages and over time, two more stages were added. In our latest blog, we look at the ebb and flow of grief and how it is different for everyone.

What is a LIVING FUNERAL? Mark Twain wrote about eavesdropping on his own funeral, saying “It was the proudest moment of his whole life.” In many ways, a Living Funeral is exactly that! If you know that you are not long for this world, it is your chance to say goodbye to the people you care about and their chance to celebrate your life WITH you. You are present to hear the eulogies, praises, and farewells. They get to look in your eyes when sharing memories. It is also a last chance to mend fences and say the things that might have gone unsaid, even to say goodbye.
