We just attended a service for a schoolmate of DH. They had a piper escort in the family (who were Scottish), had a moment of silence then played a lovely slide show set to music that made us all shed a few tears. Afterwards a eulogy was read and a few people got up to say a few words. Then the bar was opened and refreshments were served.
My DH mentioned afterwards that he really liked this service, and would like something similar (no bagpipes though!) This was at a hotel ballroom with no ashes or minister present.
Even though we are not yet 60 (nor was the classmate) we realize that we need to have some wishes set down on paper.
