    I see where you are coming from. I think it depends on the person involved. Blessed by an Angel.

    You've built a great lens and I agree completely. I've had a few close calls myself in the last couple of years and it got me started on my newest lens, http://www.squidoo.com/burial-on-a-budget

    Thank you for setting up such a wonderful website. I am a Funeral Celebrant, trying to change the way people think about the celebration of the life of their loved one. I am going to link your website to mine. As more and more people learn that they can and should celebrate their loved ones unique life, the sooner the healing process of grieving will happen. Great material here. Thanks for sharing.

    The majority of people believe funerals are for the deceased. In fact, funerals are for loved ones and close family and friends. Funerals are a way to remember, celebrate and rejoice in the life of the recently deceased.

    I completely agree. I recently lost my grandfather and the family was so shaken that we decided that we needed some help. We hired a service that plans everything. We gave them our wishes, made some decisions and they did the rest. I don't think that we could have gotten through this and had such a lovely event without them. If anyone needs this kind of help, I would absolutely recommend them, www.4celebrationsoflife.com . They were really great during a difficult time.

    I love this. It's touching and meaningful. Death is only a new beginning and never an end despite how final it might seem.

    totally agree. if not at services, at least in time. we lost my brother when he was young and my mother still can't recall any happy times, which i find so sad.

    My lovely grandfather, Pops, died recently and we did our best to celebrate his life. I found it hard on the day of his funeral but afterwards, once everyone got talking about him, we were actually laughing at all of the fun times he had given us. I still miss him though.

    People rarely talk about death in a realistic manner. It's either morbid or dramatic. But it happens, there's nothing we can do to avoid it. You are right that it should be planned to celebrate a life lived of a person who made his/her mark in our lives. Thanks!

    I agree about celebrating a life but sometimes it's a hard thing to do. I think it depends partly on how the person died.

    I love this concept, and I agree. I have always tried to celebrate life rather than dwell on the other. Thank you so much for your thoughts.

    Nice job on your lens, also thanks for featuring my book, Planning a Celebration of Life many have found it very helpful. Your viewers may like these eco friendly plantable heart cards, they are personalized cards and when they are planted wildflowers grow in memory of your loved one. They are becoming very popular for life celebrations, you can find them here http://nextgenmemorials.com/seedcardheart.html

    Absolutely wonderful lens and so very true!! Hopefully we are moving away from the somber dark events and more toward celebrations of life. My father used to teach us "death is a part of life". He was right!

    This is a very nice lens. Our family holds an Open House for friends and relatives after our Memorials. We relate funny as well as sad things which will always remind us of our loved ones who have died. I always find that it helps to heal the hurt I feel. 5 stars, favorite, fan and lensrolled.

    This is the best site I have found yet in my search for guidance as I try and plan a service for the life of a dear friend.
    Thank you.
