What does an atheist funeral look like?

Many atheists have Humanist funerals. I will. I have been to a few. The British Humanist Association does them - have a look at how they work? Usually someone tells the person who conducts the funeral a bit about the person who has died and they give a biography of their lives. Then people come up and talk about how much they loved them and tells anecdotes. They play their favourite song or something like that. :)

Like a regular funeral without the minister there, often the services held in the funeral home or graveside and you don't have to be buried in a churchyard or religious cemetery there are public cemeteries

There's also the option of echo burial which personally I think it's best of all

Donating you physique to technological understanding would nicely be a sturdy theory, yet your persons and relatives will nevertheless choose the possibility to assert ''sturdy bye'' suitable .. regardless of in the event that they are all atheists .. so a funeral would nicely be regardless of you like .. in many circumstances there are poems study out quite of passages from the Bible, and songs that the deceased enjoyed performed quite of hymns sung. human beings communicate approximately what the deceased replaced into like, and tell memories approximately chuffed recommendations of circumstances spent with them .. yet there is not any communicate approximately the place the deceased is 'going on to'. additionally, at an atheist funeral, the physique is a lot extra possibly to be cremated quite than burried.

Nothing in particular, they listen music, listen to some speeches prepared by family and friends, they can recite some book verses or poetry and then incinerate the body or let the body to rot and be eaten by worms depending on the budget.

I guess it depends on how you want it to look. The dying atheist would have to make arrangements before his death to make sure his funeral played out the way he wanted it.

The same as any funeral. Why do you assume all funerals should be religious?

it depends on the person in question some have a priest or priestess(depends on their tastes) but lots just get put in the ground and leave it at that

at least an atheist wouldn't phuk up a 2 car funeral....
