Secular Funeral
#28
RE: Secular Funeral
Sorry for the late reply, I have been working away with no access to the interwebs.

May I pass on my sympathy to you and your family, I went to an atheist funeral a few years ago and it was one of the nicest funerals I have ever been to.
Jim was a musician who always played wearing distinctive red shoes, the coffin was brought into the crematorium with the shoes on top. Friends took turns telling stories about his life, some of his music was played and afterwards we went for drinks and food at his beloved cricket club. In the evening they set off fireworks because "Jim was a rocket man!"
The whole event was a celebration of a very full life.
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups

Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!
