In this episode we talk about the funeral, including some of the challenges you might face both in the planning and on the actual day.
The funeral is normally held within a few weeks of the death and it is still a very confusing and tumultuous time for everybody involved. There can be a lot of different expectations and some people might find that it is hard to truly celebrate the life of the person because of the issues surrounding the suicide.

An alternative memorial service might also be what your community needs.
