Tips on How to Arrange a Freethinker Funeral
Did you know that in Singapore, 18.5% of the population are non-religious people? It consists of atheists, agnostics, humanists, secularists, and more, and to create a harmonious society, they call them as free thinkers.
Thus, the question stands: how do you arrange a freethinker funeral? Read on to find out more.
1. Avoid Religious Practices
Freethinker funeral services do not follow any particular religious traditions. They do not follow the same practice of Christian or any other religious funeral service, but instead, they adhere to the wishes of the deceased.
2. Prepare Poems or Eulogies
Since free thinkers don’t demand the conformity of bible, scripture, creed or messiah, the funeral readings you will use are poems and eulogies. You can ask to share quotes from movies or TV shows that the deceased loved to watch when they’re still alive.
3. Choose a “Green Burial”
Most freethinkers these days choose green burials because it allows their remains to return to nature. Plus, this process is much cheaper than a Roman Catholic funeral service.
4. Ask Guests for Tribute
Apart from condolence money, it would be best if you can ask the guests to bring tribute. It is an item that reminds them of the moments they had with the deceased.
5. Use a Personal Playlist
Instead of playing spiritual songs, you can prepare a personal playlist of the deceased’s favourite music. That makes their freethinker funeral more unique and personalised.
6. Venues
Unlike the venues listed on a Christian funeral package, freethinkers have more freedom to choose the location of the memorial ceremony. They can choose any place, but as long as it reflects the deceased’s lifestyle and preference.
