Although we want to avoid it for all intents and purposes, at some point we can not avoid getting into a situation where we have to arrange a funeral for someone close to us. Saying goodbye to a good friend or close family member is hard and relentless, which is why it is important to send them off well with a personal funeral. It is the fewest people who have tried to arrange a funeral, so we understand well if you are in doubt about how it goes. Of course, there are various ways in which you can arrange a funeral, but there are still some things to keep in mind when planning a funeral. If you are a resident of Copenhagen, then it may well pay off for you to read below, because in the article we will guide you on how to best arrange a funeral in Copenhagen.

Find an undertaker in your area
When you are going to start arranging a funeral, there are a number of practical things that need to be arranged. It can be difficult to see for yourself if you are at the same time very sad about having lost a good friend or close family member. If you need help with a funeral in Copenhagen, then it may be a good idea for you to find a funeral director in your local area who can help you plan a good and personal funeral. There are a number of different undertaker shops in and near Copenhagen, so it’s just a matter of finding the one you feel most comfortable with. For example you have Lavendla.dk, which has been in Sweden since 2014 and came to Denmark in 2021. With a funeral director, you can get help to arrange all the practical and formal things related to a funeral, so you do not have to stand with these while you are in great grief.

Consider what kind of funeral to hold
In connection with the planning of a funeral in Copenhagen, you and your loved ones must also consider what kind of funeral should be held. In many cases, the deceased may have expressed what kind of funeral he or she wants before his or her death, but if this is not the case, it is something that the relatives must decide on. This applies, among other things, to considerations as to whether the deceased should be cremated or buried, and whether a church funeral or a funeral is desired.

Consider burial site
In connection with the planning of a funeral in Copenhagen, you must also decide on the deceased’s grave. There are several different options when it comes to choosing a burial site. So it may be a good idea to spend some time researching and inquiring into the various options so that you and your loved ones can choose the type of burial site that you think best suits the deceased. If the deceased is not to be buried, but instead cremated, it is also an option to spread his or her ashes to a specific location instead of having a burial site. In any case, it is at least a good idea to explore the various options before you and your loved ones decide.

A survey carried out by Megafon for TV2 has found that 71 percent of parents have handed over children to daycare in spite of them being sick.

Moreover, 21 percent of those surveyed admitted to medicating their kids with paracetamol, such as Panodil, before sending them to school.

The FOLA parents’ organisation is shocked by the findings.

“I think it is absolutely crazy. It simply cannot be that a child goes to school sick and plays with lots of other children. Then we are faced with the fact that they will infect the whole institution,” said FOLA chair Signe Nielsen.

Pill pushers
At the Børnehuset daycare institution in Silkeborg a meeting was called where parents were implored not to bring their sick children to school.

At Børnehuset there are fears that parents prefer to pack their kids off with a pill without informing teachers.

“We occasionally have children who that they have had a pill for breakfast,” said headteacher Susanne Bødker. “You might think that it is a Panodil more than a vitamin pill, if it is a child who has just been sick, for example.”

Parents sick and tired
Parents, when confronted, often cite pressure at work as a reason for not being able to stay at home with their children.

Many declare that they simply cannot take another day off, as they are afraid of being fired.

Allan Randrup Thomsen, a professor of virology at KU, has heavily criticised the parents’ actions, describing the current situation as a “vicious circle”.

“It promotes the spread of viruses, and it adds momentum to a cycle where parents are pressured by high levels of sick-leave. If they then choose to send the children to daycare while they are still recovering, they keep the epidemic going in daycares, and this in turn puts a greater burden on the parents.”
