Tindall Funeral Home

Most airlines allow cremated remains on board as carry-on or checked baggage, but the container holding the remains must pass through the x-ray machine or it will not be allowed through security. Cremated remains can also be air-shipped as cargo but only by known shippers (a known shipper is designated as such after passing inspection and qualification rules set by the US Transport Security Agency [TSA]). In addition, to transport remains on an airplane, you must provide a death or cremation certificate for the cremated remains in order to carry them on board.

Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened. - Dr. Seuss Dr. Seuss talks a lot about love and loss in his writing. One of his children’s books that explores emotions from loss and struggles is My Many Colored Days. Another famous quote of his is this, Life’s too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right, forgive the ones who don’t and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your lif...e, let it. Nobody said it’d be easy, they just promised it would be worth it. If you are interested in getting complimentary, inspirational grief poems, click here: http://204661.celebrate-life.us/grief-poems/

We take great care in answering this common question. Just like adults, children’s grieving journeys can begin at a funeral. So the short answer is yes. The long answer: We think it’s best that you share with your children as much as possible in preparation of what they will experience. Explain to them that there will be people there that are sad, and even crying. Be sure to let them ask as many questions as they can in advance. For babies, toddlers and very young children, it is up to you if you think they can participate in a visitation, funeral, celebration of life, or gathering.

Online Tribute for Barbara J. Coffey of Syracuse, NY

Although not all veterans grieve in the same way, sometimes the unique conflict situation veterans face and their inability to take time off to grieve the loss of a fellow service member, frequently brings on specific instances of survivor guilt and traumatic grief. Survivor guilt can be very intense for veterans, in fact it is most common among veterans diagnosed with Post- Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Traumatic grief occurs when a loss is sudden, violent, and/or comple...tely unexpected. This kind of grieving can also extend into physical pain, mental anxiety, and stress disorders. There is no right or wrong way for veterans to come to terms with grief and loss. Veterans experiencing survivor guilt or traumatic grief are encouraged to seek professional help. There are numerous resources available from family, friends, and organizations who stand ready to offer assistance. To learn more about veteran offerings, contact us at your convenience.

Online Tribute for James Hall of Syracuse, NY

If I could send a ‘digital care package’ to the caregivers in my life, I think it’d have these things and more! We are so grateful for the caregivers in our community, both family members who step in and professional caregivers. They deserve special recognition and endless support.

There comes a time to turn inward. Reflect on what it is we’re leaving to those we love. It is a true act of GREAT responsibility. Are you living in a way that is building the legacy you wish to leave?
