About Us

My name is Phil Hawes and unfortunately, I have become something of an amateur expert in planning funerals. As my grandfather, Joe once said to me, "When you get older you start going to more and more funerals, that's just life". This website is dedicated to helping families who have to struggle with both their grief and planning the best possible send-off for their loved ones. I hope that my articles and advice can make this process as easy and pain-free as possible. I am, of course, very sorry for your loss and you have my deepest condolences.
