The Beauty Of Life Well Lived: Bright Ideas For A Funeral

By Albert Wright


How do you want for people to recollect things about you at your funeral? How would you wish those whom you have left behind to go about the ceremonial occasion? Or do you ever wonder if there will be individuals going to your service?

Death occurs to us all, and is inescapable fact of life. Funeral, therefore, is requisite and takes careful planning as much as child birth does. The great thing about funerals is that unlike child birth, you can now be in control as to particulars, like people or loved-ones whom you would like to speak during the necrological service, songs you would like them to sing in your recollection, and how you wish people to feel or think about as they contemplate the times when you were still around.

The verse in the sad love song goes, 'Think of Laura but laugh, don't cry, I know she wants it that way,' shows how a lovely relationship between spouses and with loved ones can simply take over the funeral provisions required, without you having to write a list. But if you insist, nobody can block you. Chances are, people whom you have left behind will observe your final indirect requests to the dot, so be thorough and make sure you cover everything.

To cushion the sorrow especially of families who have abrupt death in their midst, funeral companies can assist with the practical prerequisites from the funeral to the burial services.

Even if death is anticipated, such as death occurring due to a ripe old age, it can still be a bad experience simply because we are human beings and we grow such tenderness for others. Still, we can prepare for the practical realities of life and be ready with the funeral arranging for a loved-one's passing.

If a person has lived his life to the full, if he has made amends with those whom he had transgressed, if he has not trodden upon anyone and holds no grudge on his heart and soul, then he has lived a life well enough to encompass the receiving rest of death. After all, it is the ending of life's many travails, and the beginning of a new journeying even for the loved-ones left behind.
