We didn’t do a traditional funeral last year when our daughter passed.

She definitely wouldn’t have wanted it. Instead, about 3 months after she died we gathered friends and family at one of her favorite places and had a celebration of life in her honor. My wife wanted to call it a FUNeral but that seemed a little cheesy.

Are more and more people declining to have a funeral?

If it's not prying to ask, how was that?

The delay was really beneficial for the grieving process for us

Thanks for sharing. That is a great idea.

This sounds awesome. Funerals are for the living, not the dead.
