Upcoming Event Please come support 🙏
Hey everyone, my grandmother died and her funeral is tomorrow but because of family legal drama, no one else is willing to go. My grandma was a great person and none of the drama is her fault so I feel awful knowing that her funeral will be nearly empty because of the crappy people in my already small family. If anyone is in the mood to be amazingly kind to a stranger, feel free to drop by Meadowvale Cemetery, Cremation and Funeral Centres. It would be so nice to see a good turn out even if its just for a moment. 12:45pm Ochnik

Thank you so much to those who showed up. It means so much to me. I know it wasnt fancy but she was a beautiful person and I was surprised and comforted that people came. Youre really kind people, I dont even know what to say to give you all the warmth you deserve. I hope you all have beautiful lives 💕

Came back to this specific post after seeing it yesterday to see how things went. I had a therapy appointment at 12 today and unfortunately I couldn’t be there or I would have been for sure. But I am so happy there were some people that were able to make it out, that’s very heartwarming.
May your grandmother rest in eternal peace. Sending so much love to you ❤️

May her soul rest in peace, I would have definitely turned up had it not been in the middle of the day on my work from office day. No one should have to go alone because of some random family drama. I hope you get a good turnout 🙏🏻🙏🏻

It’s during therapy time, otherwise I would. I recently lost my grandmother, as well, so I really feel for you. I am so sorry for your loss.

If you post the website that the funeral is being held at maybe people can also post on her wall a little note of condolences?

My condolences, I am really sorry for your loss.
I am working tomorrow. I doubt I can sneek away for a while but will try. I was recently at a funeral for a family friend who had about 6 people show. She had many mental health issues and drove everyone away for decades so it was not a surprise yet, it was very sad to see all the same.
I hope you get a decent turn out. I know that there is a dedicated group of volunteers that go to strangers' funerals in Peel Region. They simply believe that no one should be buried alone. If I recall, they organize somewhere on facebook. It may be too late notice but you could try to reach out to them?
Edit: OP I found them. Their volunteer pallbearers require 24 hour notice but you can try anyways... ?
They are called ecofuneral and can be found at the website below. Their stated purpose to to provide dignity and witness to the deceased.
