Information about funerals

A free information session about funerals will be held for local women on October 20.

Ms Jan Thompson, manager of the Allan Maidment Chapel and Woy Woy Simplicity Funerals will present a talk on Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Funerals at the Peninsula Women's Health Centre from 10am to 12noon.

Ms Thompson has seen many changes in the funeral business over the years, including more women working in the industry.

"Gone are the days of the man dressed in a big tall black hat and black tails looking mournful," Ms Thompson said.

"With the coming of the baby boomers, things have changed.

"Planning for your funeral is more common and incorporating new and interesting ways of celebrating peoples' lives is achievable.

"Simplicity Funerals was developed over 30 years ago and has over the years learnt to move with the times and offers a service to suit today's needs.

"For example, pre-organising or pre-paying for your funeral is not only a way of saving money, but more importantly it is peace of mind."

For more information, call the Peninsula Women's Health Centre on 4342 5905.

The Peninsula Women's Health Centre is located at 20A McMasters Rd, Woy Woy.
