https://www.wagesandsons.com https://www.wagesandsons.com/please-be-aware-national-scam-targeting-grieving-families Please know there is a nationwide scam being perpetrated on grieving families.  The scam involves someone calling and acting like they are from a funeral home where the family is being served.  The scammers can mask their real phone number on CallerID to show they are calling from the funeral home that served the family.  This practice is called spoofing.  They call families and demand payment for additional charges related to the funeral, and they ask for a credit card number.  In general, please never give out a credit card number to someone calling you.   If you receive a call like this, hang up, and call the funeral home directly and speak to your funeral director.  Never use the phone number that is given to you from the person that called you. Please know that Wages & Sons will never call you for billing information over the phone.   We will never ask for credit card information over the phone.  If someone calls you asking for this information it is a scam, and it is not Wages & Sons.  Please let us know if you receive any calls pretending to be from Wages & Sons and asking for payment.

This is an easy first step to recovery. Do not lock away your feelings—they will only grow. Know Your Limits – You will naturally feel “down” both physically and emotionally during this time. Don’t feel obligated to get back to your normal routine. Learn to say no when you need more time. Rely on Fond Memories – The holidays are certain to bring memories of your loved one rushing back to you. Some will make you happy, others will make you sad. It’s not only okay but necessary to experience both of these emotions. Lean on Your Spirituality – If you consider yourself faithful or spiritual, the holidays are probably a significant time for you. Lean on the comfort of your spirituality and use this time to reflect and grow. Our Chaplain Dr. Lamar Holley is always available to talk. If you are struggling with grief this holiday season, don’t hesitate to call us with questions or concerns. Gwinnett Chapel (770) 277-4550 or Stone Mountain Chapel (770) 469-9811. ~ Your Friends at Wages & Sons Funeral Homes & Crematories Wed, 02 Dec 2015 05:00:00 GMT https://www.wagesandsons.com/tips-dealing-grief-holiday-season thumbnail https://www.wagesandsons.com/childrens-grief-awareness Thu, 19 Nov 2015 05:00:00 GMT https://www.wagesandsons.com/childrens-grief-awareness thumbnail https://www.wagesandsons.com/enter-win-free-ice-cream In honor of National Grandparent’s Day you can win free ice cream by completing the 5 questions in the ad attached.  Please click the link, print and complete the questions to be entered into a raffle to win a gift certificate for 20 free ice cream sundaes.  Entries are due by 10/15.

There are still ways to honor her even though she may be gone from sight. You might put together a photo album, or a scrapbook of treasured memories. You could plant a flower, bush, or tree that might bloom annually around Mother’s Day. Donations to charities to whose causes she may have related would be welcomed. Recognizing other women in your life who have been special to you – a grandmother, favorite aunt, a friend’s mother, a lonely widow – a card for “one like a mother to me” may make their and your Mother’s Day special again. As difficult as the day can be, giving thanks for the years you had her and the treasured memories you have of her may just be the most comforting way for you to spend the day. Light a candle, go for a walk, hold her in your heart – she will always be found there. We support people beyond just the days following the loss of a loved one.

Sharing stories with those who matter most isn’t just important today; it will be especially significant when it’s time to commemorate a life. Wages and Sons is proud to announce its participation in Have the Talk of a Lifetime, a national effort to encourage families to have conversations about life and what matters most. These discussions can help families make important decisions about how they wish to remember and honor the lives of their loved ones. * Through meaningful memorialization – that is, taking time to reflect on the unique life of a loved one and remember the difference they made – families and friends take an important step in the journey toward healing after death. Individuals and their families have more options than even before for memorializing their loved one at the end of life. From simple to very elaborate, there are a variety of ways a family can honor their loved one in a personal and meaningful way. “Memorialization is so much more than it used to be,” says Jeffrey Wages. “It can reflect a person’s life story – their values, interests and experiences – and be transformative, healing and comforting. Meaningful memorialization starts when loved ones talk about what matters most: memories made, lessons learned and how they hope to be remembered.” Read more… Thu, 04 Dec 2014 05:00:00 GMT https://www.wagesandsons.com/talk-lifetime https://www.wagesandsons.com/annual-holiday-memorial-service You are cordially invited to attend our Annual Holiday Memorial Service.

Our funeral director will explain each payment method and investment option available and will help you make a decision that best suits you and your family. Your Family Keeps More When you pre-pay, your estate will owe nothing on funeral expenses. More of your assets and life insurance proceeds will go directly to your family. Save the Amount You Need Once you gain an understanding of all the costs involved, you can earmark a portion of your savings to cover those costs. Fewer Last-minute Expenses When you plan in advance, your family is less likely to incur additional expenses at the time of the funeral. Call and ask for a free, no obligation consultation!
