A Funeral Fit For a Family
Sunday, January 10, 2010Dealing with a death of a friend or family member is not an easy thing to do and so deciding for a natural burial and a natural cemetery can be difficult as well. When deciding on where to place your loved one, there are many options that can be chose, but it is usually up to the person who has died. Usually, if at a certain age, your loved one will have written a will that will greatly help on giving them what they wanted and equally sharing what they have left behind. In a case where there is no will, the situation can become increasingly more difficult, so please encourage all of your family to have prepared and updated wills as they increase in age.
Though it may seem a bit morbid, it is important to mentally prepare yourself for death and death around you. It must be understood that even though it is tragic, it happens every day and that there is a time for everyone. Dealing with the painful loss can be devastating as it is, but letting it linger will only make it worse. Planning the funeral right away and getting over the grief is the best thing that you can do in that sort of situation.
When someone dies, they have a few different options in which they can be buried. Many people choose to have a traditional burial in which the body is preserved and then they are lowered into the ground by a casket in a traditional ceremony. Other people like the idea of cremation. By taking this route it saves your family a lot of money and it is very simple because when it all comes down to it, you are simply turned to ash. Some people think of it as a spiritual thing and their family will either save or spread their ashes by the sea, for example.
Either way, you have to choose a way that you would like to be buried at your very own funeral. If you do not discuss it with a family member, it should at least be written down in a notarized will. Sometimes death cannot be planned and it happens in an instant where no one expects it. In this case it is up to the rest of the family to decide what happens, but in the victim’s best interest of course. A funeral is never fun, but if you can make it more about the happy remembrance of a person rather than the dreadful sad thoughts, it can be a better time than you think.
Normally, you would not think of a funeral as a fun event, because it is dark, remorseful, and often sad, but it is important to look back on the good times and remember a person in happiness. More recently people have even set up colorful funerals in which the color black is not allowed. Funerals are inevitable and have become simplified without a spiritual setting in most cases.
Connor R. Sullivan recently researched natural burial methods for an article about ecological burials. He was fascinated with the natural cemetery methods.
