EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO KNOW
ABOUT FUNERALS BUT WERE AFRAID TO ASK!
The times they are a-changin’....
From funeral rockets to mountaintop memorials, Americans are moving toward more colorful, personalized ways to say goodbye to loved ones. Such services often include “comfort” music, favorite foods, photographs and other mementos that celebrate the individuality of the dead.
Grieving families also are holding theme receptions and having cremated
remains embedded in reefs or compressed into gemstones.
