I feel very strongly about my local area and the community spirit I have grown up with all of my life. If a family is in mourning we support them, if families are separated for what ever reason we try to hold the rest together. It's an important way of life for us.
We've all spoken to our children about the way we used to live, and what our local area looked like.
It soon became a reality for our children when a friend of mine Sarah Cain decided to create a Facebook page called Memories of Canning Town. It has grown enormously and now has nearly 4000 members.
Sarah then came up with a sister page called Caning Town Today and then followed with a memorial page called We'll Meet Again. This page is for those who want to remember their friends and family who are no longer here.
We'll Meet Again
Some people need to be able to express how they feel about death and the impact it has had on them. This kind of memorial place is a good platform for this. I express how I feel about death through my work, through building Funeography. I get great satisfaction from the wonderful and very real images I have produced over the years.
I had a fairly large blog in the draft but decided to cut it down. I sometimes feel that great things need less words.
The only words I have left are thank you to all our clients who commissioned us from the launch of the company to date, without you there is no important work.
I'm looking forward to the expansion of Funeography with the licensing and hope that many more families experience the comfort that Funeography brings.
Have a very merry christmas and wonderful new year.
I fittingly dedicate this blog to Sarah Cain's brother Smarty Cain.
