My mother has told me that she doesn't want a funeral and we were wondering how to go about it.
I know that the usual thing is to call and undertaker following a death to make all the funeral arrangments etc but is it possile to just paid one to take the body away from the place of death and then make the necessary arrangements for cremation of the body?
I am totally in agreement with my mother as I feel the same way and wouldn't like to have a funeral for myself either when teh time comes. We both believe that once you are dead the spirit lives on around us and the body is simply an empty shell.
We both consider funerals to be awkward, upsetting and moorkish ad have never found to them to be remotely comforting - quite the opposite in fact.
Does anyone have any experiences of people not having a funeral?
