The Last Track
New Trends: Ideas for Holding a Celebration of Life
Show Notes

In this trilogy, Brian focuses on new innovations and trends in the funeral industry. There are several differences between how a funeral is run by an ordained minister and a celebrant, such as the way the life of the decedent is spoken about and how the officiant addresses the religious portion of the service. Brian explains the difference between a life story and a eulogy and different ways to share memories.  Bringing the spirit of the departed loved one to the service is the main focus of a celebration of life. From the location of the service, to the music, readings and decorations, each element can bring healing and comfort. Brian also gives tips on how to bring the life story of the person who has passed to life. This podcast also addresses ideas on how to celebrate a life such as lighting a life candle, including videos from the decedent's life and showcasing their hobbies at the service.
