It's Your Funeral: Inspiring Ideas for a Personal Send-Off

Organising a funeral is a desperately sad and difficult thing to have to do. And it's even more bleak when you feel that a 20 minute standard service just doesn't begin to do justice to the unique and individual person you're saying goodbye to. How can their whole rich life be properly acknowledged, let alone celebrated, in a brief service often led by someone who never even knew them? But it doesn't have to be like that. The choice you have to personalise a funeral service is far broader than most of us realise. Whether you hold the service in a religious building, a crematorium, on top of a mountain, or in your own front room, you can make it an enormously individual and uplifting celebration despite your grief.
