Publisher's Synopsis
This book is designed to help the living honour their dead. Funerals don't have to be sombre, formal affairs conducted by strangers, in surroundings dominated by formica, to the sound of organ music. This is a step-by-step guide to planning a funeral, taking the reader through the practicalities, what has to be done, but also the choices - what you can do if you want. It's about what's possible. You might want a traditional church or crematorium service, or you might want something very different. Each chapter will contain case studies of funerals and interviews with the people involved.
