Wear the Pink Ribbon Did you know the pink ribbon is the international symbol of breast cancer awareness? One in nine Canadian women will develop breast cancer which is the second leading cause of death from cancer for our nation’s women. When you wear the pink ribbon, you help spread awareness about the disease and contribute to finding a cure. Spreading awareness works! In the early 2000s, breast cancer incidence rates in women started to decline due to the increased use o...f mammography and hormone replacement therapy. Actual death rates began declining even earlier, back in the 1980s, thanks to the word getting out about the importance of screening and donations for improving treatment. The word cancer is terrifying, but it is also important to remember that the drive to spread awareness, the donations, the marches and the support are having a positive impact around the world. This October, choose to be part of the solution. Visit the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation to learn how you can join the fight against breast cancer.

Is it a good idea to include funeral arrangements in a will? Making one’s final wishes known in writing is always recommended. Not having instructions prepared for surviving family members can result in ambiguity and discord. Where should this information be recorded?... Given a will is typically only read well after funeral and burial arrangements have been tended to, while these instructions can be included in a will, they should also be readily available at the time of passing of a beloved. Many families will include both a copy of a will and a copy of funeral arrangements or decisions in an estate master information file. What type of funeral service is preferred? Is it a religious service? What burial arrangements are wished for? There are many details concerning the ‘when, how and where’ of the funeral that those entrusted with these responsibilities will need to carry out their duties as next of kin. Make instructions easily accessible so that these affairs can be made with little effort. Advise those who will tend to these matters, where this information can be found or provide them in advance a copy of your directions. Chandlers Funeral Service/CFHC Online
