Divine Haven Funeral services, a 21st century embalming and mortuary service outlet with franchise in both Ondo and Ekiti States has celebrated its two years of existence.

The outfit in its two years of giving the deceased appreciable care before they are interned has continued to show dedication and commitment to the bodies that are taken to its mortuaries with a resolve to support the deceased families during their difficult time of bereavement.

According to the Divine Haven Funeral, the services offered include mortuary services , embalment, cooling chambers , forensic pathology and post mortem examination and medicolegal investigations.

Others are Repatriation of bodies from The Diaspora, funeral home services , provision of motor hearse , cremation services , funerary dealership in caskets, provision of pall bearers and music bands as well as lowering device for internment services.

Divine Haven Funeral has no doubt changed the face of the business of ‘ caring for the dead ‘ in Ondo State as bodies taken to its outlets get the inputs of professional morticians who are prompt in providing clinical embalming using state of the art facilities which keep the bodies fresh till their lowering.

Meanwhile , a Professor of Pathology and Forensic Medicine, Prof. Dayo Faduyile ,OON , has charged the living to treat their relatives who are deceased well even when they are no more, noting that there is an art to caring for the dead which makes their memory evergreen with the living.

Prof. Faduyile who was fielding questions from newsmen on issues concerning ‘ the care of the dead ‘ at his residence over the weekend said when a person breathes his or her last, the bodies equally deserve proper attention just like the living do take time to pay attention to their wellbeing. He said, that a deceased is now referred to as ‘body’ , says much about the kind of concern they should be shown as they have now become ‘ burden’ at the mercy of the living. The Pathology Professor noted that as long as the living shall someday become ‘ dead’ and ‘lifeless’, it simply goes to motive that just dumping their dead relatives in wishy washy morgues where scientific approach to caring for the dead is nearly zero should be discouraged.

He advised that people should endeavour to take their deceased relatives to standard and government certified funeral homes where they can rest assured that parts of the deceased body will be intact no matter the length of days, months or time it will take them to claim it for burial.
