Sincere question to Atheists email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 99/100. SusanLee (850)2 months ago

Yesterday I went to a funeral for my husband's uncle.

As I sat there and listened to the service I realized that most of the words spoken were about the comfort of God in times of loss.

I started to wonder about what type of service people have that don't believe in God.

I am sure there are families that have a mother, father and children that are all atheist and when the mother or father passes away. How is the service done?

Yes, I am a christian, but that isn't here nor there in this question. I'm not asking about anyone's opinion about what or who is right or wrong. I am just curious how a funeral service is approached.

Is it performed in a church, at the graveside, at the funeral home?

Who speaks over the deceased? Exactly how is it done?

A lot of people these days have a short service at the cremetorium, some still have a religious service but my family whom are not religious have a non religious service, we just have either a friend or family member or a celebrant say a few words about the person, maybe a talk about their life but most of as we feel we don't want sadness we tend to talk about the funny and the good things the person brought to us...there can be a nice service still without religion...
