Plan and coordinate all phases of funeral services

English philosopher and statesman, Francis Bacon said “It is natural to die as to be born”.

The reality is that death is the natural culmination of all of life and affects everyone either directly, or indirectly at stages through our lives when we are faced with the passing of others. The desolation that the loss of a friend or loved one causes is profound and facing one’s own mortality can be distressing as well. It is not only the passing of friends and loved ones which affects our lives but the passing of global and cultural icons, such as Queen Elizabeth II, whose passing touch the heart of millions of people across the world in September of 2022.

At certain stages in history, the world has experienced death en mass, such as recently experienced because of the Covid-19 global pandemic which both shocked and stung many with the virus’s seemingly callous and unrelenting disregard for the very essence of humanity. No matter who we are, our time will come and when it does, it can ravish the lives of those left behind.

What can we do to mitigate the effects of our passing on others? There are practical steps which a person can take to make dealing with death easier, to a certain extent, for those left behind, easing the hurt and grief and allowing them the time to find the comfort they need to heal.

Here are three important, proactive things you can do to ease the strain on others when your time comes:

  1. Plan your funeral which will give you the decision-making capacity to ensure all goes according to your wishes when the time comes. After all, you know yourself best and you know what will work for you and your family so taking things in hand will benefit all.
  2. Set up a meeting with funeral directors such as Funeral directors Teddington, who are situated in several convenient locations across the UK for ease of access. Meetings can be done in person or alternatively online for ease of access. Lodge Brothers Funeral Directors Virginia Water are experts who oversee, plan and coordinate all phases of funeral services, including body preparation, visitations, ceremonies, burials or cremations, while delivering compassionate assistance and advice.
  3.

Assisting families with funerals for over 230 years

Lodge Brothers Legal services is a team of dedicated attorneys who specialise in assisting with Lasting Power of attorney, Wills and Probate services. Inspired by personal attention Lodge Brother Legal aims to provide practical and caring services to all who reach out to them in their time of need.

Where a person is taking the proactive approach to their end-of-life management, or planning ahead for the protection of their families, they can be assured that they will have all of their questions answered and be provided with answers to questions that they didn’t know they had yet.

A probate Guildford process is one which deals with the administrative side of a person’s estate once they are deceased. This is something that most people will need however which few are aware of. Reaching out to an attorney to assist you with the process is the fastest and most accurate way of making sure that all T’s are crossed, and I’s are dotted. The probate Ashford process is approved by the Probate Registry which must take place before the process can proceed. There are 2 types of probate Feltham processes which is dependant on whether or not the deceased person has left a valid Will, or not. As long as there is a valid Will, the Grant of Probate will be required if there is an executor of the estate. This is where it is beneficial to have consulted with Lodge Brother Legal attorneys in preparation of this time, as they will ensure that the Will is valid and they will then be able to be nominated as executor of your probate process, keeping it simple and in the right hands.

Should a person die without a Will or the Will is found or be legally invalid, the Probate Registry will need to provide a Grant of Letters of Administration. When a person passes under these circumstances, the person is deemed to have died intestate and the administration of their Will will fall to the legal system to establish the most correct way to administer the estate of the deceased. It is highly advisable for a person to have their Will drawn up by professional attorneys who will ensure that there are no loopholes which may raise questions as to the validity of their Will. Those who are caught short in this area may leave their estate in the hands of the courts and as such, may result in intended recipients of the estate to lose out on what you intended to provide for them after your death.

A lasting power of attorney will assist in situations where, should you fall victim to a situation which may render you powerless to speak for yourself and advise what you would like to happen in the event of your death, whether you would like to be considered an organ donor, whether you would like heroic actions in the event of resuscitation and general provide guidance as to how you would like to be treated medically should you not be of sound mind to do so on your own behalf.

Expert in emotional detox

2Mal Weeraratne, author of Emotional Detox through Bodywork, is the founder of the Tantric Journey, The school of Healing and Awakening and Emotional Detox and The School of Holistic Body Therapy. As founder of Tantric Journey and a pioneer of deep bodywork. Mal Weeraratne has worked in the field of Emotional Detox since 1994 and has treated over 3000 clients from the UK, USA, Europe and Asia.

As an expert in emotional detox Mal Weeraratne’s techniques are designed to assist you in releasing negative emotions which have been stored up within the physical body as a result of emotions and experiences we encounter throughout our lives. We subsequently build up belief systems which we then use as a guide for the rest of our lives, using them to “tell us” that, “based on xyz emotion / experience which we have had before” we should respond accordingly. Sometimes the residues of the emotions and experiences we have had before, will dictate to our bodies which will respond as if a trigger or even a reminder of previous experiences and emotions are real, even when they haven’t even occurred again. Our body remembers these past events and the accompanying stress, anxiety or negative feeling we felt at the time by storing negative emotions. A build-up of these negative feelings can lead us into mental, emotion or physical imbalance and subsequently diseases can form.

Detoxing the body of its emotional imbalances can result in improved physical, mental and emotional fitness and well-being being restored. Emotional detox will not only help remove the negative emotions which have been stored in the body but can also eradicate the underlying beliefs, patterns and behaviours which we develop to protect ourselves, when they are no longer required or serving us. Patterns which may have developed as a defence mechanism may no longer be required and yet the body’s innate responses may still be triggered, leaving us responding negatively to a situation which no longer requires the same heightened responses.

Facing the truth behind our emotions and behaviours can only be done once we clear the body of its attachment to them otherwise, we are assured of perpetuating these learnt responses time and time again, ensuring a self-sabotaging regime which brings unnecessary stress to our lives leading to disease. Once these emotions have been cleared, we have the ability to look within with enlighten clarity and reassess whether the beliefs we have learned to protect ourselves, are still required. Once we realise that this is no longer the case, we are able to move forward without recreating negative behaviours and patterns in our lives which Mal Weeraratne, world authority on Tantra and emotional release, says can offer deep and transformative healing for mind, body and soul. Mal Weeraratne had acknowledged that his powerful emotional detox technique, detailed in the Tantric Journey, allows both men and women to ‘’start living a blissful and meaningful life again that is free from the weight of past, negative trauma’’.

More Marquee Hire Advice from DIY Marquees

How to clean your marquee

The obvious answer is whenever it needs it so maybe a better question would be how often should you expect to clean a marquee.

A marquee is far more likely to get dirty when being erected/dismantled rather than when it is actually up. If you’re careful when erecting and especially when dismantling the marquee then you can usually get away with a thorough clean only once or twice a season.

DIY Marquees

There are however a few exceptions:

The dirtiest marquee I have ever had was one that was erected under some trees. When it rained all of the dust and grime was washed off the leaves down on to our lovely marquee. If you’ve got to put a marquee up under trees expect to clean it immediately afterwards.

Rain-skirts by their very nature will always get muddy in the rain, these should be given a wipe over on pretty much every job.

the premium diy marquee range

Traffic-film – eventually PVC can have a grey layer build up which is especially difficult to remove. It takes a long time for this to happen (a year or two normally) but at this stage it needs a thorough clean using a chemical. The material also needs irritating (gone over with a brush or similar) to get this off. Once thoroughly cleaned the PVC should be as good as new.

Tree sap is a nightmare to remove.

There are also some things that will never come out:

Petrol/Diesel can stain PVC. This will never come out so avoid them at all costs.

Ingrained mould – this affects many marquees especially those that are stored when still wet. PVC is made of many layers, if a marquee is put away wet or if cheap PVC is used then water can get inside the layers and create mould which will never come out. Incidentally this is one of the reasons we use better quality 500gsm PVC than available elsewhere, it takes far longer for the layers to break down in better quality PVC.

Some garden chemicals can stain – I was shown a marquee recently that had green stains around the rain skirt which seemed to have come from a chemical added to the lawn.

Better quality PVC always helps, we use a lacquer coated PVC as it is easier to clean and lasts longer than the cheap alternatives.

LODGE BROTHERS GULDFORD LEGAL SERVICES

When a family member passes, it is time of great importance as it is the end of a life which is both mourned and celebrated.  Having a funeral or memorial service is an important way to ensure that those who remain behind are able to both mourn and celebrate the loved one as part of their grieving process. The rituals which we attach to the passing on from this life, no matter your religious background, culture of belief, facilitates closure which helps those who may be struggling to let go. Funerals are your very last chance to meaningfully say goodbye to your loved one which means that funerals are by, nature, very emotional.  However we also know too well that there is a time for all of us, to leave our families. A time which one should prepare for in advance.

Should this time occur at a time when not expected or without the relevant preparation and planning, this can lead to elevated anxiety resulting from the lack of attention to the requirements attached to the end of life. Each situation is unique and Lodge Brothers Legal Services understands all the aspects of your estate, wills, probate and lasting power of attorney Guildford, which means that they take care of every detail and any situation which could arise at the point at which an individual has passed. Whether a family has prepared for this moment, or not, there is nothing that Lodge Brothers Legal Services cannot take the fear and stress out of.

As one becomes older, it is very important that people encourage elderly folks to remain engaged with the decisions relating to their life choices. This allows a person to feel empowered and promotes on-going feelings of independence. Aspects relating to Probate, the drawing up of Wills and most importantly, the Lasting power of Attorney Ashford service, empower individuals with the option of deciding ahead of their departure, what they would want when their time comes, thereby alleviating the additional stress that can be felt by families when they can ill afford the additional concerns of financial burdens. This impact is traditionally well-received by families who fear that they may have administrative decisions to make, which is why, this lasting power of attorney Feltham option is popular with our clients and their families. Clients are encouraged to take ownership of all aspects of their estate as well as aspects relating how they would want to be cared for and by whom, should they be unable to make this decision sometime in the future.

Lodge Brothers attorney's know that its all in the details and have the training and expertise required to ensure that clients are well-informed and updated regularly so that they may remain current with legislation, enabling them with relevant information. No detail is too much to ask from Lodge Brothers legal attorneys who remain available to clients long after the initial documentation has been drawn up and authorised, no matter how far in advance the funeral has been planned, paid for and all legal documentation completed.
