good life, good death, good grief

It Takes a Village

“Making someone look as good as they can is the last really nice thing you can do for them. I know that sounds strange because they are dead, but that’s part of what we do to look after them and their family. When the family say ‘he looks really peaceful’ or ‘he looks like he’s sleeping’, that’s good. Not everyone has a peaceful death, but once they come to us the struggle has gone. “  Awdri, Funeral Director
