I know it’s a morbid topic but am wondering if anyone out there has had experience with having a non-traditional funeral or memorial service for a loved one. By this I mean not having a religious service, since we do not follow any religion, and not having calling hours (a wake) at a funeral home since I personally have always disliked that practice. I’ve heard of people having a celebration of life at, for example, the loved ones favorite place such as a beach, etc. but there may really not be a relevant place for particular individual. I do believe in each person making their wishes known to family members but am just looking for some possible alternatives for myself and for my loved ones.
What Would You Do in this Position?
