A funeral on a birthday

A funeral on a birthday

Happy Birthday – a birthday celebration and farewell The day on which someone came into the world can also be the day on which they leave it again. For many people, their birthday is a very special moment each year, perhaps even the most important day of the year. This is precisely why some consciously choose to arrange their farewell on that date. The final birthday is celebrated together with family and friends. It is a farewell that leaves room for grief, but also for laughter, memories, closeness and gratitude. At a large or very private gathering, stories are shared, warm words are found and affection is shown. Life is at the centre, not only its ending. Current developments surrounding a self-determined end of life have made it possible in certain circumstances to avoid great suffering. If a day can then be chosen, why not choose one's own favourite day? A farewell on a birthday can feel complete: considered, loving and supported by the people closest to you.
