What does an atheist funeral look like?

It typically looks like any other funeral, only there are no priests or religious figures to deliver a sermon. The technical name for this type of service is called "humanistic".

Generally, the person is viewed in a casket for a period of time (usually one to two hours). In this time, a celebrant, family member, or the Funeral Director asks for anyone who wants to give a eulogy. Once that is done, the casket it closed and transported to the cemetery where there is a small moment of time to say a final goodbye and then the casket is lowered into the ground.

If a cremation, after the viewing the family gathers someplace to have a reception while the body is being cremated.

Donating you body to science can be a good idea, but your family and friends will still want the opportunity to say ''good bye'' properly .. even if they're all atheists .. so a funeral can be whatever you want .. usually there are poems read out instead of passages from the Bible, and songs that the deceased liked played instead of hymns sung. People talk about what the deceased was like, and tell stories about happy memories of times spent with them .. but there is no talk about where the deceased is 'going on to'.

Also, at an atheist funeral, the body is much more likely to be cremated rather than burried.

Like any other ..... Funerals are for the benefit of the living, not the dead, the deceased is usually doing something else by the time the funeral occurs.

I want to be blended into Plant or Fish Food, but I'm not sure if it's possible or legal.

I hope can be done, seems so wasteful otherwise.

Mine's going to be a party, a celebration of life, my achievements, my family and friends, and any contributions I've made to the world - that is, a celebration of my legacy, so that others may build upon my work and use it for the express purpose of improving the state of humanity and making the world a better place for all. I don't believe in funerals. Death is the end of the body, and I don't believe in the soul, I believe I will cease to exist when my mind ceases to function, but that doesn't mean I can't live on through my contributions and my work. That's what my funeral/party will be about.

Like a nicely-known funeral devoid of the minister there, often the centers held in the funeral living house or graveside and you do no longer would desire to be buried in a churchyard or non secular cemetery there are public cemeteries there is likewise the choice of echo burial which in my view i think of it is better of all

Like any other funeral. Everyone is there to say a final goodbye. Somebody saying what a fine person he was. Then he's buried. Just like any other funeral.

Christians don't have to have priests etc burying them either. It's just a custom of the country. The only thing that matters is if you're saved or not. God will know that.

Science just plays with the cadavers.

I don't want to be a play thing for some medical students.

They usually do cremation and talk about how the deceased is not going to Heaven.

Sad.

Pie. Lots of pie.
