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.
