What will your funeral be like?
Some of you may think that funerals are very sad and are doom and gloom. Well, funerals are meant to be a celebration of life. So yes, while a funeral is a sad occasion, it is meant to remember the life of a loved one and all the fun and happy memories. There are many different ways that you can make a funeral elegant and beautiful to celebrate your life.
If you want, you can always have a funeral with a specific theme, maybe a color. Having a funeral by color could be a great way to celebrate someone who had breast cancer (pink), someone who had Alzheimer’s (purple), or even someone who lived a green life and was environmentally conscious (green). Many people plan their funerals with a color in mind. Some go to great lengths with their colors by even getting a hearse that matches the flowers, the programs, and their coffin. If you decide that you want your funeral to be color coordinated, but you are not sure what color, think about what the color of the flower can mean. Perhaps you are the type of person who loves everyone and everyone the moment you meet them and have no enemies; you may want red flowers because they symbolize love. You can also think about the things you like. If you like the ocean, you may want a blue-themed funeral and have your remains turned into an eternal reef that is submerged in the sea. Maybe you like nature, have a log cabin, or camp frequently; A brown theme can help remind you of those tough types of outdoor activities.
This may not be the most elegant type of funeral ever, but if you lived green and want to remain green even in death, there are many options. Of course, going with the color of them, everything could be green. First, you will need to find eco-friendly ways to store your remains. If you want to be cremated, you can use a flameless incineration. For those who wish to be buried, they can opt for a casketless burial or use a green casket made of bamboo or cardboard. Burials without a coffin or green casket can normally only be buried in certain cemeteries. You may decide that aquamation, where water helps speed up the natural process, is the best option for you as an alternative to cremation. Maybe the blue-themed funeral you found interesting with the eternal reef. The Eternal Reef is made in part of cement and its remains and is placed in the ocean to provide a home or reef for different ocean creatures.
