How do you cope when the unthinkable happens and a loved one passes away unexpectedly? This emotionally charged episode of "You Need to Know," hosted by Jay Lawrence, confronts this difficult reality head-on. We sit down with Jamie and Steve Queen Roosevelt from Brewer and Sons Funeral Cremation and Cemetery Services to uncover their family-owned business's heartfelt approach to treating clients like kin. From the immediate steps to take upon an unexpected death, including the crucial call to 9-1-1, to addressing the alarming scarcity of cemetery space in Central Florida, particularly in Claremont, Jamie and Steve provide vital insights and practical guidance.

The episode then transitions into the profound significance of cultural and religious customization in funeral planning. Jay, Jamie, and Steve share illuminating examples of how Brewer and Sons meticulously honor diverse traditions, from Buddhist and Hindu ceremonies to the different timelines and processes for burial and cremation. The commitment to personalized, culturally sensitive services is evident as they discuss how funeral directors work tirelessly to ensure every farewell is as meaningful and respectful as possible.
