A Celebration of Life or a funeral?

Should funerals be ‘a Celebration of Life’ or more traditional? That is a key question for all of us who have lost someone special. Last week I read a very interesting article by a parish priest who was critical of the trend towards funerals being ‘a celebration of life’ rather than a more reflective and sombre act of mourning and remembrance.

Saying goodbye to a loved one

This article is on funeral order of service and saying goodbye to a loved one in a personal and individual way. The funeral service being used as a celebration of someone’s life is becoming more popular in modern society. The increasing personalisation we see these days is part of a growing trend, perhaps as we become a more secular society. The importance of a funeral service these days seems to be more focused on saying goodbye to a loved one.

Non-Religious Funerals and Memorial Services

Not everyone is aware that there are non-Religious funerals and Memorial Services options available. For some families a Humanist, non-religious funeral or memorial ceremony will be the perfect way to remember their loved one.

The person who has died may not have been religious so this could be what they would have wanted or requested. This type of ceremony is more a celebration of the life of your loved one. It still allows you to focus on the person who has died and allows friends and family to attend a service and share their memories. A non-religious service focuses on the life lived, the person and the friends they made on their journey through life. You will be free of many of the restrictions imposed by a religious service or the minister presiding over a religious service.
