Stacey Dooley: Inside The Undertakers - Breaking the taboo of talking about death
The new BBC documentary "Stacey Dooley: Inside The Undertakers" has the potential to make a significant impact in the United Kingdom by encouraging open conversations about death and end-of-life wishes.
I lost my Dad a few years ago and found it difficult to represent his personality with the traditional, and boring, one-size-fits-all funeral items available. This experience is why I formed Membrance - It’s so important for families to say goodbye in the right way and great to see the BBC covering these 3 key factors in changing how we approach death in the UK.
Breaking the Taboo: The documentary's mission to openly discuss and explore the topic of death is praiseworthy. In many societies, including the UK, discussing death can be considered a taboo subject. Stacey Dooley's initiative to break this silence is an essential step toward a more open and healthy dialogue about a fundamental aspect of human existence.
Removing the Stigma: By shedding light on the inner workings of the funeral industry and the various customs and beliefs surrounding death, the documentary helps remove the stigma associated with discussing end-of-life matters. This can empower people to express their wishes and make informed decisions about their own funerals.
Fostering Understanding: "Stacey Dooley: Inside The Undertakers" goes beyond mere curiosity; it actively participates in the funeral process and explores the emotions, traditions, and logistics involved. This approach allows viewers to gain a deeper understanding of the complexities surrounding death, providing a more nuanced perspective on the subject.
How can Membrance help?
We know that creating a stunning, personalised set of funeral stationery that will be kept and treasured is important to families. But due to the emotional stress of losing a loved one, many families find this a daunting task. At Membrance we take the stress out of funeral planning with our digital funeral notice, which allows families to create and share a beautiful webpage with all the funeral and wake details. Thanks to our RSVP panel families can use the Membrance dashboard to see how many people will be attending, how many service sheets they need to order and how many people they need to cater for at the wake. And then go on to create a stunning order of service and a portrait for the service and wake.
