Description
A collection of philosophical and poetic readings for non-religious funerals provides a dignified and solemn approach to celebrating life and memory. This book brings together opening sentences, readings, and phrases from some of the greatest thinkers in history, including Marcus Aurelius, Plato, Christina Rossetti, Shakespeare, and Rabindranath Tagore. The readings retain the grandeur and dignity of traditional funeral language, but without dogmatic references to religion or the supernatural. Instead, they offer a positive philosophical approach to death, making this book suitable for anyone planning a non-religious funeral service or officiant at secular humanist funerals.
