Organising A Greek Orthodox Funeral

Hello, my name is Steve and this is my blog. The subject of this blog is a very important one. I will be writing about organising a funeral for Greek Orthodox members of your family. Three generations ago, my family moved from Greece to Australia. We have been living in Perth ever since that time and we enjoy a happy life within our small Greek community here. When my grandpa passed away last year, it fell to me to organise his funeral. I was lucky enough to find a great funeral home who helped me to make sure that everything was in place so we could give the old chap the send off he deserved. I hope you like my blog.
