Happy Birthday to Us….

We are celebrating Thoughtful Thursday’s one-year anniversary. Every Thursday since November 19, 2020, we have reflected on an aspect of death, funeral care or bereavement. The blog categories include inspiration, death care, funeral etiquette, grief, loss and mourning, pre-need planning, memorial services and legacy, children and death, the opioid epidemic, the Covid Pandemic or general information.



We are so pleased that google analytics suggest the blog is meaningful to our readers. Since the inception of Thoughtful Thursday, 1,399 people have viewed the blog. During October 2021 there were 240 unique readers. This is enough to encourage us to continue the weekly blog.   


The most read topics during the year were:

  • Funeral Etiquette
  • Grief During the Holidays
  • The Healing Power of Silence
  • Pre-need and Funeral Planning
  • Memorials, Funerals and Designing Ritual


 Now is your chance to determine future topics for the blog. 

  • Is there a topic we covered that you would like us to revisit and take a deeper dive?
  • Are there topics from the funeral care service that you would like to know about?


Please use the comment box below to suggest future topics and we will do our very best to cover these. Thanks to those of you who have so generously read and commented on the blog this past year.
