Death can be peaceful and blissful, says the funeral guide. My grandmother and I talked about death

"We were approached by a fifty-five year old terminally ill man and we are working with him and his family to prepare for the end of his life. I am in contact with him, writing a speech for him, which he will approve. It's an amazing story. When I visited them, I was fascinated by the humility and resignation with which they accept their fate."

Renata Svoboda, our Ren, started in the funeral business because the experience of seeing her grandmother off opened the door to a whole new life.

One in which she wanted to dedicate herself to the dying and those left behind. Accompanying a family from the moments before death to the funeral and often beyond is also part of the job of Funeral Guides, and we are just glad that Ren took it on with such sensitivity and care.

If you're interested in her story and her profession, read about it in a new article on Flowee. In addition, maybe about whether our profession can turn into a callous trade in death.
