When my mother died, I really needed the funeral. It really helped with the grieving process. I think my mother would have appreciated something like this when she had cancer. Sadly, she was in denial about her state of health and only admitted to herself that she was dying when she only had a week left. But, these things don't have to be called "Living Funerals." We would have had a larger 50th anniversary party for my parents, (about a year after her diagnosis,) if we'd been a bit further out of Covid.
