Why Funerals Matter
Our animated short film is based on a true story about the importance of having a funeral service.
Funerals are about saying goodbye, about ‘good grief’ for adults and for children. A funeral provides a safe and appropriate place to show and share our feelings with each other. Sometimes we can underestimate the value of having a funeral where family and friends are welcome and come together to support each other.
