Scenario

When families clash over religious memorial services

Our family is trying to plan my grandmother's memorial service and we can't agree on anything because some of us want a traditional religious service and others want something secular and we're all grieving differently. The fighting is making everything worse and I know she wouldn't want this.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Grief and doctrine intersect to fracture the very unity that ritual is meant to restore, leaving mourners isolated in their different needs for meaning.
