”Thank you so much for the Service you gave for Mum - it was perfect. It was exactly as I hoped and, more importantly what Mum would have wanted. Your choice of playing “English Country Garden” first ; set the tone for the rest of the service, and the rest followed beautifully.
Your compassion and dignity was felt by all the family.

Parent and Education Conversations
At Whole Heart we know that parents are the best people to answer their children’s big questions! But…..we also understand that parents don’t always feel confident to do so.
We help equip groups of parents with the skills they need to talk to their children about the issue of death and dying. Using experience and knowledge gained working in education, pastoral care and funeral settings we facilitate a conversation with parents to share knowledge, skills and relevant resource. With an approachable and relaxed teaching style we make confronting topics accessible and welcoming to a diverse audience. We invite schools, kindergartens and childcare centres to contact us and plan a parent conversation about grief and loss within their own community setting.
