If you have ever attended a funeral or memorial service and come away disappointed because you thought it was inappropriate or that the deceased would have hated it, then this book can help. As its title states, it really does provide a guide to selecting the type of ceremony you want. And because it was published by the Unitarian Universalists, it provides a wide range of religious options.

I work for a funeral home and am sometimes called upon to perform memorial services for people without a church or clergy person. This book is very helpful because it contains several complete services that can be customized to fit any situation. This would be a great book for clergy and funeral professionals as well as family members hoping for a more personal and creative service.

I was helping to plan a do-it-yourself memorial service for a person in the Unitarian-Universalist tradition. This book provided great background information as well as a selection of interesting services for inspiration. Our service came off flawlessly because we had prepared and this book was a great tool in helping us to do that.

I read it for a class, it was very informative. I would suggest it to everyone who wants to know more on thev subject
