Death is never easy, there is nothing to cushion its blow or minimize the pain of it. During this traumatic and emotionally overwhelming time, we will also be faced with making the arrangements necessary for funeral services.
In many cultures and religious traditions, part of these rituals is the delivery of a eulogy, a short memorial message celebrating the person's accomplishments and important moments. It's important to celebrate but not at the expense of acknowledging that something important has been lost. A way of saying that there lies a promise of a reunion of the dead and the living in another place and another time.
Writing about a person who is no longer alive is very difficult and writing about their death is worse. A Celebrant will honor a family's wishes and will present either a religious or non-religious gathering. The family is free to participate as much or little as they wish in the funeral.
