In Loving Memory

‘ Let whoever is in charge keep this simple question in her head ... how can I provide for the right thing to be always done?’
Florence Nightingale 1860

This is one of the most sensitive areas that an outsider can be involved with and, handled well with empathy and compassion, can make a huge difference to the way those left behind come to terms with the death of a loved one.
