The ceremony is a 2 long experience which focuses on turning towards one's own mortality. Participants are faced with their own memorial, participate in a writing exercise, and then are lead through a death visualization. The Living Funeral offers a transformative and cathartic experience, helping individuals cultivate a deeper sense of mindfulness, acceptance, and appreciation for life's beauty and transience. Death meditation underscores the importance of living fully in the present moment.

A living funeral is for anyone prepared to experience an exercise in confronting their own mortality. It is an intensely personal and potentially challenging event intended to give the participant a clear view of their life as a whole.
