At a time when your life is in emotional upheaval after a death, a funeral often seems a difficult and stressful task to tackle. But organising a funeral can serve not only to distract your mind from the death, but can offer you a sense of being able to do something at a time when you're feeling particularly powerless. A funeral can be an immensely satisfying event; a feeling that you have done the correct thing by the person who has died, that you have given him or her a nice 'send off' and that you have marked the end of their lives in the highest possible way.
