Get a family member, close friend or neighbor to help you plan the reception. You will need help the planning, making phone calls and deciding where you where the reception will be held. Possible locations for a reception are the church, the deceased person's house, family member's house, friend's house, neighbor's house, or at a restaurant. If you are very close to the deceased person, you need help in making arrangements for the funeral reception because you are in mourning, too.
Put one person in charge of receiving calls and calling all of the deceased person's family and friends. This person will spread information about where and when the funeral and reception will be held and provide directions to the functions. This person lets people know the deceased person's flower preferences or where to send money for charitable donation in the deceased's name.
Display photographs and memorabilia around the reception area. This reminds the guest of old times with the deceased and stimulates conversation about the deceased person.
Provide an area in the refrigerator for food brought in by relatives and friends. Have several bags of ice available for drinks. Put the foods and drinks on a table with several bowls of the ice. A funeral reception last for several hours, so take into consideration the possibility of food spoilage while it is on the table. Place the foods that need to be kept cold into deep trays filled with ice.
Stock the reception area with paper plates, hot and cold paper cups, various soft drinks tea, coffee, sugar, creamer, eating utensils, serving spoons, serving bowls and napkins.
Play some soft, uplifting music while the reception is going on.
Prepare a secluded area for rest or taking some private moments for the deceased's loved ones. Togetherness helps people get through the death of a loved one, but some people prefer not to show their emotions. This secluded area helps relieve tension in some people.

How to Make Garden Soil Weed FreeIn Feburary 2016 04,

In Feburary 2016 04,
Pull up any weeds in the area where you want to plant your garden. Pull them up by the roots. Do not cut the weeds, as this will just make them grow faster and will not eliminate them from your garden plot.
Rototill your garden plot to turn the soil and dig up any roots that may still be there. Remove any of the roots or runners that you may turn over in the soil to keep them from taking root and growing again. Rototill both horizontally and vertically in your garden to dig up as many of the roots as you can.
Spray some weed killer on your garden plot the year before you want to plant anything to help reduce the reproduction of weeds. Read the directions on the bottle of weed killer carefully before you buy it, as some chemicals are so potent that you should not plant food in that soil for more than a year. Use an all-natural product for best results in a vegetable garden.
Spread a 2-inch-thick layer of mulch over your entire garden plot to help prevent weed growth. Add nutrients to your soil by using dead leaves for mulch if you are preparing your garden plot in the fall for spring planting.
Cover the garden plot area with thick, black plastic to keep any new weed seeds from getting into your garden plot. Use rocks or some other heavy objects to hold the plastic down.
Till the soil again before planting in the spring to turn any mulch that has not completely broken down into the soil. Plant your seeds. Mulch around the plants as soon as you see the seedling emerging to keep weeds from growing around your plants.
Place pieces of cardboard along the pathways of your garden to prevent weeds from growing there and also to retain some of the moisture from rain and watering.
