A contemporary funeral is for those who want a funeral to be a more personal and individual expression of the life, values and character of the person who has died. These funerals are often less formal, with a higher level of participation by family and friends. The funeral might be for someone younger, perhaps a babyboomer born after 1940.
If a formal hearse, perhaps the classic Mercedes, a coffin that makes a statement, a ceremony that reflects individual beliefs, music from their era, as likely to be Pink Floyd as Pachelbel. At these funerals, a few touches can make all the difference, or you can be wildly unconventional.
