The Masculine Response to Death and Grief: Moving Beyond the Silence

Grief doesn’t have a single face. It’s not always tears and tissues, nor is it always silence or stoicism. At Life Rites Funerals, we’ve seen that how a person grieves is as individual as their fingerprint. Yet within this diversity, there are patterns, often shaped by gender, culture, and generational narratives, that still influence how people are allowed, or expected, to express their grief.

Where can I have a Funeral Ceremony?

This is a question we have been asked of us many, many times over the last 15 years and the answer is, lots of places you may not immediately think of. Of course, churches, funeral home and crematorium chapels and gravesites are all purpose built for services. So are many town halls, surf clubs, events and signature venues, restaurants, botanic gardens, parks and even, your own backyard.
