Coming Soon to a Computer Near You
There's really no lack of people who want a creative sendoff. Lots of you have great ideas, bold ideas, and some kinda quirky ideas for your final farewell. We especially love the quirky, and there is no too quirky, just so you know. But I observe a disconnect between...
Just. One. Thing.
It's easy to get overwhelmed pondering a whole new way of doing funerals. As one person, with a smidge of visible fright recently said, “Hey, it's not like I'm an event planner here.” It's one thing to appreciate the idea of creative new goodbye rituals, but some...

Fun Funeral Side Effects
Greetings fun funeral fans! New Insight Thursday and confirmation of how the circle of life is so encompassing. It's magnificent how nothing occurs in a vacuum; any given action can be a boon to something seemingly unrelated. Existing Observation: A side effect...

Flipping the funeral paradigm
Fun Funeral Confession #3

Funeral Lightheartedness Friday
I did not come up with this, but it does make me laugh.
Easy Step to Getting-in-the-Game of Your Own Goodbye Party

Fun Funeral Confession #2
Time for another True Confession. And this one will seem so loony that I can only laugh while I tremble to admit it. Loony because it's so dang obvious. So seemingly innocuous. Death is normal. Yup, that's a statement I often find impossible to spit out. The problem...
Fun Funeral Confession #1
Exactly what motivates one to look up a fun funeral website? You handful of people who come here — are you already sold on the notion of something out-of-the-box, as the pun goes? Are you already picturing laughter, embarrassing stories, a night of bittersweet toasts...
It's my funeral and I'll host if I want to
The Party-Before-You-Go. Perhaps you've heard this, too — what a shame it is that people gather to celebrate your life when you're ironically no longer here to feel the love. It's hard to argue with. It's such a nuisance that we just can't plan for these life-changing...
