We have compiled a extensive list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) on our TJM flagship website to help answer the questions we receive most often.

Then begin contacting family, closest friends and other important people. You may need to consider also contacting their place of employment and ultimately the life insurance company (if applicable).

Flowers, memorial gifts, casseroles, visits, calls and prayers – the outpouring of love families receive after the death of a loved one is tremendously appreciated. And with the gifts comes the responsibility to write thank you notes.

When a loved one passes away, a speech or eulogy is given at the memorial service. This is a chance to celebrate the deceased’s life and memory.
