Living Funerals

There is a trend towards Living Funerals, the most high profile example was Kris Hallenga, the founder of CoppaFeel, the breast cancer awareness charity. Kris Hallenga had lived with breast cancer for 14 years, but once it became terminal, she organised her FUNeral which was a coming together with family and friends to share time together and was a living celebration of her life.

Kris wanted to “celebrate a life that I have truly loved, surrounded by people that I loved”.

A Living Funeral is a very personal choice but you will be there, so it has to be exactly to your specifications. It could be bold and elaborate with balloons and a party vibe, or you may want something quieter and more reflective, spending special time with family and friends.

When the time comes, there will be a second ceremony which you may choose to write and keep it with your will or other documents.

I will help you to organise both your Living Funeral to give you the best possible time with your loved ones and if you wish, your second ceremony where we could used some of the elements from your Living Funeral.
