Facts To Expect When Considering Secular Funerals

If a non religious funeral is in the works, individuals will have to take some extra steps to make sure that the wishes of the deceased are respected. This way, all family members will be happy. At no point should religion be mentioned in the ceremony.

The grave itself will not have to contain any marks about religion. Instead, it can simply contain messages of love. Granite and marble are usually the best materials to procure. This way, the stone will remain in excellent shape for many more years. Granite will hold up well in the outdoors and will not weather easily.

Humanism should be stressed. If the individual who was deceased has dedicated his/her life to secular values, then religion should be kept out of things. People might even look up certain humanistic sayings, which can then be added to the program for no extra charge.

If the ceremony is to be held within a few days, loved ones might set up some of the favorite books of the deceased. People can pay their respects by taking a look at these books. Works by Sagan, Twain, and Einstein will all be excellent choices. Both nonfiction and fiction can be used.

For secular ceremonies, hymns will have to be avoided at all costs. Instead of using hymns, poetry might be a good alternative. The sonatas of Beethoven and Mozart might also be enjoyed by many different kinds of people. The goal is to produce a ceremony that is radiant and beautiful.

In the end, setting up a non religious funeral does not have to be overly difficult. As long as people follow their hearts, they should be successful. If they need guidance along the way, they can rely on friends who have been through such ceremonies in the recent past.
