A Parent or Child's Farewell: The Funeral

Loading player...
The following episode contains sensitive subject matter for someone that has lost a loved one. We have interviewed professional experts on each topic, and taken extra care to cover the subjects with sensitivity.

How do we prepare for the unthinkable? The passing of a child is a horror scenario - but this week's guest is here to help us find a gentle approach. When the most tragic of events might happen, how do we handle the funeral process? This is Part 3 in our Bereavement Series. In this episode we are joined by Sonja Smith, one of South Africa's most experienced undertakers. With her gentle approach and sensitive understanding, she highlights the key elements that we need to consider, in case a child or parent pass on.
