Welcome to OccasionalSage.com, your comprehensive guide to understanding and navigating the complex process around dealing with death. We will cover funeral options, cremation vs burial, memorialisation, dealing with grief, finding the right words and more.
Born from personal experience, OccasionalSage.com was founded after we, Michael and my wife, encountered firsthand the difficulties surrounding the death of a loved one. We quickly realized how complex, confusing, and costly the process could be, both administratively and emotionally. With backgrounds in business and clinical psychology respectively, we’re committed to simplifying this process, making it more accessible, affordable, and meaningful for others in similar circumstances.
At OccasionalSage.com, we have two core missions. First, we aim to break down the complicated options and traditions surrounding deathcare, empowering individuals to make informed, meaningful decisions. Whether you’re pre-planning or suddenly faced with organizing a loved one’s funeral, our comprehensive guides offer straightforward comparisons, unbiased advice, and practical tips for every step of the process.
Second, we strive to provide support and resources for those dealing with the emotional toll of losing a loved one. We understand the struggle of finding the right words to express grief, offer condolences, or celebrate a life lived. We’re here to guide you through these emotional challenges, helping you find comfort and connection in shared human experiences.
We believe strongly in the individual’s right to dictate their own experiences with death and mourning, rather than being guided solely by tradition or sometimes pushy funeral directors.
At OccasionalSage.com, we believe in the power of knowledge, the importance of respect, and the healing that can come from a well-planned, meaningful end-of-life process. Let us be your sage through this difficult occasion.
