Not everyone believes in big funerals and lots of fuss. My Mother certainly didn't. She was also really conscious of cost and believed, as I do, that money should be spent on life before you die. Rather than a big funeral with a body on display, she wanted to be remembered for her wicked but also really dark sense of humour - not for a fancy coffin. So we will scatter her ashes at a later date when everyone can get together and do what we need to do - be that laugh or cry. Besides doing what my mother actually wanted, for myself as her daughter and her grandson who was close to her, there was a beautiful simplicity in dealing with Bare. Everything was handled with sensitivity because it was a sudden decline and unexpected. And the process is so clear and the staff are awesome. Death is hard enough without a hard sell, so would highly recommend this service for those of us who value that kind of integrity and great service, without pomp and ceremony.
