The first and most important piece of advice is: whatever most befits the individual. The second is: don’t settle for second best, you can have the different funeral you want.
We now accept that weddings can be held pretty much anywhere, in whatever way people want, but how many people adopt this thought for their funeral, or the funeral of their loved ones?
A ‘different’ funeral doesn’t have to be something completely wacky, however, a funeral in a field with a hog roast for a farmer, or a Triumph motorcycle hearse for a motorbike lover, are all options people should be aware of.

In fact, the options are endless. Would you like to sit around an enormous firepit and cook a barbeque or huge paella together, would you like picnic hampers to enjoy in groups sitting in the meadow, or would you prefer to be out in the countryside with flora and fauna in abundance, with more traditional catering, and the reassurance that a large safari tent is available should the weather be unreliable.
Other hearse options include a tank from Tanks-Alot , a VW campervan, or a tractor and trailer. Why? Why not!
The Tank Hearse is a converted FV432 APC (still in service with the British Army) tastefully retrofitted with the internal components of a normal hearse.
The ceremony, or celebration of life, as lots of people now call it, can also be completely tailor made. Why not have a basket of sweets for mourners to dip into if the deceased was a sweetie lover, maybe a prosecco lover who would like everyone to have one last glass of bubbly to say goodbye. It can even be a completely informal event, with anyone welcome to say a few words in memory of the deceased: no time pressure, no concerns about ‘funeral etiquette.’
