In this issue we talk to funeral photographer Rachel Wallace about why more and more people are choosing to capture images of the day and how beneficial this can be for families coping with their bereavement. We look at how friends can help with providing food at the funeral reception and beyond. And for those of you planning a very personal send off, we take a look at the increasingly colourful world of coffins. There's also tips on choosing appropriate music for a service, organising a wake and expert help with tax planning. As ever, we are always keen to hear your thoughts and suggestions, and would be pleased to receive anything you would like to share with our readers in future issues, so please do get in touch. Until next time ... Kim editor@daybydaymagazine.co.uk
