Did anyone catch this...yesterday on Channel 5 (10-11.30pm).
As someone who lost both parents a couple of years back soon after one another, I found this really interesting. It is good to know there is no correct way of doing things. With my dad, it was very traditional - funeral then a wake, with mum we chose not to have a funeral and had a celebration of her life instead, just close family but being together in a country hotel for an entire weekend to share memories and remember her.
I was fortunate, both my parents had 'good deaths'. All the people featured lost people unexpectedly/suddenly or in difficult circumstances.
