Humans Deserve to Grieve in Peace...​

After losing a Loved One, we are often called to complete the emotionally and physically trying task of putting our lost Loved One's home to rest. This undertaking presents an unwelcome strain on our family, career, and life commitments. After a loss, isn't it best to stay at home, surrounded by friends and family?
