Someone at the House During the Service
A person stays at the home while the family is at the funeral, taking in deliveries and keeping things ready.
- Hands-on, on Prince Edward Island
- Can be scheduled
Arranged after a call. Some things we arrange after a short call, so we can check the details and make sure we can do it properly. Tell us what's needed and we'll come back with what's possible and what it would cost. Nothing is charged until you've agreed to it.
What this is
Someone stays at the house for about four hours while the family is at the service. They take in food and flowers, let caterers in, put the kettle on before people come back, and make sure the house isn't standing empty and unlocked with the whole community knowing where everyone is. We confirm access and what they should and shouldn't do beforehand. PEI only at launch.
What's included
- About four hours at the home during the service
- Deliveries and callers received
- Caterers or helpers let in
- Kettle on and the house ready before people return
- Access and instructions confirmed beforehand
- A handwritten Fare-Well card with your message, and a memorial birdseed ornament.
Why we chose this
Families come home from a funeral to a cold house, a doorstep of wilting flowers and nothing ready. There's also the plain fact that everyone in the community knows the house is empty for two hours. Nobody wants to say that out loud, and somebody being there solves it.
