很有面子
When I was a kid, I often heard my grandma or some elderly say: “One day when I die, you could simply bury me or cremate me. There is no need to spend a tremendous amount of money for a grand funeral.” But is this the case?
Recently, one of the bereaved family members came to me and said: “Deborah, I really appreciate you and your team very much. I did not choose the wrong company. Although my family did not spend a huge amount of money, your company managed to send off my father in an honorable way. The memorial service and the funeral wake were so beautiful. Everyone who came to the funeral wake was full of praise for your company! You really make my father got a lot of face (你让我爸爸很有面子).”
I was very touched by the sentence, “You really make my father got a lot of face (你让我爸爸很有面子)”!
At another memorial service night, a grandma came to me and said that our service was very heartwarming, and the whole funeral wake was elegant and glorious.
She asked me for my business card and asked about the approximate price and the funeral process. She said: “I will give your business card to my son. I hope that when I pass on, you will be the one who will handle my funeral.”
Before leaving the wake, the grandma kept looking back and giving me thumbs-up, saying: “What a good job! The Late sister is very blessed! What a beautiful wake!”
Looking at the grandma’s distant receding figure, I felt very moved.
Regardless of men or women, people of all ages look forward to having a beautiful wedding and a decent funeral. Especially the elderly.
If what I heard when I was a child was true, that the elderly do not care about their funeral, the bereaved family members in these two incidents would not have such reactions towards the funeral wake.
If what I heard when I was a child was true, my grandma would not have saved money for her after-death matters.
I believe that the ultimate wish of every elderly is to have a funeral that is simple but not casual. It doesn’t need to be grand, but they would expect the funeral to be decent and warm.
It is also the motivation and goal that Passion has always been moving forward. It is to do our best to prepare a decent and elegant funeral for the deceased and send them off in a respectful and honorable way.
I thank God for giving us this opportunity so that we have the honor to serve the bereaved families and Lord Jesus with our team in such way.
All glory to God, Amen!
小时候常常听我的奶奶或一些老人家说：“有一天我死了，简单埋了或烧了就算了，没必要花一大笔钱做个隆重的丧礼。” 可事实真是如此吗？
前些日子有位家属对我说：“Deborah，我真的非常的感谢你，我果然没有选错人。虽然我们没有花很多钱，但你让我父亲走的很体面，整个追思礼和丧礼都让我的父亲“很有面子”。每一位来探丧的人都对你们赞不绝口！你真的让我爸爸“很有面子”。”
这句话”你让我的爸爸很有面子”，令我非常感动。
而在另一场追思礼上，有位老奶奶向我走来，说我们的服务很温馨，把整个追思礼布置得高雅大方。
后来她向我要了我的名片，问了个大概的价钱和丧礼的流程。她说：“我会把你的名片交给我的儿子，我希望在我走后，是由你们来办理我的丧礼。”
临走前，老奶奶还一直不断的回头张望，对我竖起大拇指，说：“做的真好！这位姐妹很有福气！做的很漂亮！”。
我望着老奶奶离去的背影，心中万分感触。
世间人不论男女老少，都期望有个美好的婚礼，和一个体面的丧礼。尤其是老人家。
如果真如小时候所听说的，老人家不在乎死后的丧事，这两个事件中的家属就不会这么注重这场丧礼。
如果真如小时候所听说的，我的奶奶就不会省吃俭用，存下一笔棺材本。
我相信，每一位老人家的心愿都是拥有一个既简单，却又不随便的丧礼。不用很隆重，但他们都会期望他们的丧礼是体面而温馨的。
这也是Passion一直以来前进的动力和目标，就是尽全力为已故者准备一场既体面又高雅的丧礼，完成他们的心愿。
感谢主给予我这个机会，让我有幸透过这种方式，和我的团队一起服侍家属和主耶稣。阿门！
