We love this quote from an interview with Kristen Bell, touching on her humanism and the role of empathy and building community. ❤️

'In moments of great grief, that's where you look and immerse yourself. You realise you are not immortal, you are not a god, you are part of the natural world and you come to accept that.'

Have you been using the long weekend for #wedding planning?

It's a good idea to get your venue and celebrant booked as soon as you can to secure your chosen wedding date! 📆

For LGBT+ people, and the bereaved family and friends, it's important that the funeral ceremony is an authentic way to say goodbye.
