LITTLE BOOK OF HUMANIST FUNERALS: Remembering & Celebrating

"What a treasure - inspiring, comforting, and brimming with the equanimity one longs for in coming to terms with a death." - Steven Pinker. A humanist funeral allows us the freedom to remember and celebrate the life of someone in exactly the way we want to and, as the most popular alternative to a religious ceremony, to put us more closely in touch with the precious nature of life. In a beautiful collection of insights from humanist celebrants, as well as quotes, poems and meditations from humanist writers and thinkers throughout history, this little book is the perfect introduction to the humanist approach to life and death. Contents include Facing Death, Life After Death, Back to Nature, Living with Grief, Your Own Funeral, Unique Circumstances, Different Relationships, Making it Personal, and Saying Goodbye among the chapters. "Packed with nuggets of philosophy, poetry and quotes. I read this in one sitting and will be buying this for friends and family."
