this week we are taking a close look at the process of grieving loved ones and the supports in place for people experiencing grief now when a loved one dies someone usually needs to plan a funeral or some sort of service and help that get their Affairs in order those are more burdens amid a lot of sadness joining us now to share some how funeral homes help is Nicole Webb she's the location manager for Glen Haven Memorial Chapel in east Vancouver thanks for joining us we appreciate than so much for having me so when it comes to your work how do you support families going through for first of all the logistics of planning a service whatever they decide to do and come to you yeah so there's a lot that goes into planning a service just from the moment that your loved one passes uh there's phone calls to start making and how do you get them from a hospital into the care of a funeral home um you know do we want a service or do we want just something nice and basic so what we do is we walk them through that process from the very first moment that they contact us just give them the information to help kind of ease their mind and kind of what the next steps are that they can expect through this process it's an uncomfortable conversation for a lot of people at the best of times when they're living but when it comes to death money is a factor because funerals can be and services can be expensive how do you raise that so what we do is we're very open with pricing we have pricing to fit everybody's needs um you know we have services that start at about $4,000 at our location and what that would include would be a basic cremation uh we would help to register with Vital Statistics we would would um you know make sure that we have everything in order for you to take your loved one and bring them home or to a cemetery afterwards but we also have options for families where they may want an elaborate celebration and those prices are going to differ depending on what their needs are have you seen costs rise like a lot of other businesses yeah costs are something that are always a factor right and and costs go up we haven't really seen anything come down but the lovely thing about that is we do have a program where you can pre-arrange your funerals um it helps because it gets that conversation started your families and your friends then have an opportunity to know what it is you want you know do you want burial or cremation do you want a service or a viewing and you can put those onto plans where you can pay for them throughout so it also takes the financial burden off of your family and your loved ones they don't have to worry about that when the time comes can you do it an installments as well absolutely okay yes you can in fact I pre-arranged myself and it's been the best thing that I've ever done when it comes to some more personal touches we we talked a lot about logistics and money what are those what are the things that that you find satisfaction and when it comes to learning about people yeah so that's one of my favorite parts of the job is you get an opportunity to sit down with somebody and form a connection and you learn about their loved one so the stories of who they were um you know what hobbies did they have what music did they love what represents who they are and how can we bring that into a service within such a short time but still represent them as a whole Nicole Webb we really appreciate your time and your expertise thanks for walking us through a difficult thing uh with a lot of clarity thanks thank you so much for having me
