Living funerals - where a funeral is held for a person who is still alive - are becoming more popular in the UK.
But while they are often held for those nearing death that is not always the case.
Sky's Megan Harwood-Baynes went to explore.

@Brightflash333 5 месяцев назад

A statement like that makes me smile. I get it . I like this guy …..

@NoWindNoSunNoPower 5 месяцев назад

Surely everyone is at their own funeral.

@Rachel_M_ 5 месяцев назад

Indeed, Except for the rare occasion they can't recover the body

@sjbechet1111 Месяц назад

By definition, everyone's mortal remains are at their funeral, only the memory of them is present, the deceased is not.

Emptiness + money + need for validation = today's world

what...

@KMC597 5 месяцев назад

The ultimate in narcissism- how completely and utterly self absorbed. -and re-defining reality and the meaning of words yet again.

@simons1548 5 месяцев назад

it's demonism, call it out for what it is...Jesus died on a cross for us and blessed us with eternal life, to reject that is to embrace grief and death.. so sad

@m.p.6039 5 месяцев назад

My thoughts exactly. Imagine putting your loved ones through that... especially considering the person is still going to die for real in the future and a real funeral will still have to be held.

@kelvingriffiths6017 5 месяцев назад

Maybe im missing something but this is ridiculous.

@a24396 5 месяцев назад

Seems like an expensive way to learn definitively how few people care for me... Not sure why anyone would want to do this.

@GIBBO4182 5 месяцев назад

It would force people to turn up! You’d know if they didn’t this way! 😂😂

@terencehopes7477 5 месяцев назад

true, at least when i'm dead i'll not know how few cared.

@EricLatios 5 месяцев назад

a real funeral would be expensive, your family will be fighting over your will and estate

@ulrikezachmann7596 5 месяцев назад

How narcissistic is that? Is there wailing as well?

@RussShawTV 5 месяцев назад

A living funeral is putting the "fun" back in 'fun'eral and it's technically if the person is still alive it's called Halloween

Is this sh*t real..People have to much time on their hands

@sp-pz8uc 5 месяцев назад

And in a wicker basket! After they are going to have more lines than a steak on a barbecue.

@stequality 5 месяцев назад

Yes they do have too much time on their hands, if they ain't on tiktok or macdonalds they are doing this

@jimkhana007 5 месяцев назад

All seems very egotistical 🤷‍♂️

@vivienclogger 5 месяцев назад

I dont care if people chuck me in a ditch when I'm dead - because I'll be, well, dead. A funeral requires a corpse. Anything else is just a self indulgent party, with varying degrees of levity.

@sp-pz8uc 5 месяцев назад

Probably 99% after will have nightmares. Cwazzy people do cwazzy things.

@Beansontoast93911 5 месяцев назад

Well said my friend. I do want everyone to have a massive party though when I’m dead. I don’t really care about a church service and stuff like that. Everyone will just require to get intoxicated and hopefully they’ll be a massive fight at the end.

@sjbechet1111 Месяц назад

Great reply, there is something very unhealthy about people who want to see what others really think about them.

@Jordan-pf9ws 2 месяца назад

Never heard of this before, sounds like a great idea

@ObeseCaligula 5 месяцев назад

Earlier today i was looking up how to donate my body to science but it appears only rich people are allowed to do that. I'm just trying to make it easier on my family. No funeral, ya know.

@m.p.6039 5 месяцев назад

What a weird thing to say. Funerals are still held for people who were lost at sea, or whose bodies were carbonized to ashes in a fire. The body doesn't have to be there. Funerals are for the living so they can mourn together. They're not for the dead, the dead don't care.

@daveyp9080 5 месяцев назад

Sort of attention seeking in my opinion idk 🤷‍♂️

@anjou6497 5 месяцев назад

It's really ridiculous. Very self-involved, weird. Can't people accept there are some things that have a natural progression.

Fun fact: Winter is considered to be the real season of death. So to have this video be uploaded this month is unexpected but welcomed.

@EricLatios 5 месяцев назад

its not winter in my country

@Jay-cl2jd 5 месяцев назад

Its not a funeral. This is more of a farewell party. 🙄

As a committed Christian I’d prefer people celebrate my going to be with the Lord in Heaven. “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16

Confronting - Courageous - Sensible. The one "advantage” of a terminal illness is the ability to truly put one’s affairs in order and to do something amazing like this. How wonderful to be surrounded by such love and enjoy quality time together accepting one’s mortality by genuinely celebrating one’s life while recalling many of its highlights. It also means the post mortem funeral can be simplified potentially allowing for a more intimate wake or less busy more intimate Shiva house.
