I'd like to have a funeral while I'm living. Can Farewell Rites accommodate this request?

Certainly, many people are now open to the concept of holding a "living funeral" to celebrate life on their own terms. We can help organize the event, which includes choosing traditional or non-traditional venues such as places of worship, funeral homes, community centers, banquet halls, public parks, pubs, bowling alleys, museums, zoos, sporting complexes, or even cruise ships.
