So many thoughts from the commentators here. I’ll throw my insights in and hope they help.

Funerals are for the living to honor or remember the deceased. They are the tangible, outward expression of the impact the deceased had on their loved ones, family and friends. A funeral should be conducted to include the beliefs (or lack thereof), memories, and desire of the deceased and their families.

Athesist funerals, in my experience, aren’t that much different than a religious one. The ones I’ve seen included someone acting a facilitator and songs, stories, videos, photos and memorabilia that tell the story of the deceased.

Some families opt to cremate and then have a party somewhere else. Some choose to bury the deceased at a simple graveside service and then call it good.

The overarching theme here in all of these services is coming together and taking care of the deceased.

Originally Answered: What is the deadliest disease ever?

The deadliest disease ever has been around for at least 20 million years.

It may have killed Alexander the Great, King Tut and at least six popes. Some sources claim that almost half of all humans that ever lived have been killed by it.

What is the name of this murderous menace? Malaria.

Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease that affects both humans and other animals. Some mosquitos carry a parasitic protozoan of the genus Plasmodium. This is the killer.

Mosquitos are the vector, the carrier. If we look at mosquitos as a bomber, then Plasmodium is the bomb.

** The deadly culprit

There are five species of the parasite that cause the disease. Of these, Plasmodium falciparum is the most deadly. According to the 2018 world malaria report, there were 219 million cases of malaria in 2017. From this number 435,000 infected people died.

Approximately 70% of malaria deaths occurred in children age 5 or younger.

** The good news is that the number of deaths has decreased in recent years.
