Instead of a funeral service, some families prefer to have a celebration of life. When a family or loved one passed away, those who are left behind may opt to celebrate every achievement. Things and practices that may not be acceptable in a solemn or somber funeral may be appropriate to do at a celebration of life event.
The said event is different from a funeral service wherein people, especially guests and visitors, are not expected to talk loudly about death.

The family organizes a casual get-together, and family, relatives, and friends honor the loved one who passed away in such a joyful way.

It s a pity.Duan King Kong regretted I came a step earlier, so I can capture the Buddha and fulfill the instructions of Bodhisattva Jialuoshu.It left the cellar before the walking corpses, jumped out of the small courtyard, and hid by the green belt outside the courtyard.
Xu Qi an let out a huh and glanced around.Under the archway of Sanhua Temple There are horses tied one after another In the woods on both sides of the mountain road, there are more horses tied Horses.She failed to compete with her junior sister Xiao Yuenu for the position of landlord, and left Jianzhou angrily, and was absorbed by Qianlong City.
After inferring the approximate age based on the clothes of the human race in the murals, she searched through the annals of Renzong, but failed to trace back to that long time ago.Xu Yuanshuang turned around and left, not giving her a chance to continue ridiculing.
As long as you enter the pagoda and drive it to escape, even King Kong may not be able to catch up, and if you catch up, you won t be able to break in.In the twelfth lunar month of winter, she just ran out of sweat, and her slender legs were numb and swollen.
No, it s you This scumbag was condemned by God, and I was implicated by you.Before dawn, you must regain the dragon energy, otherwise there will be no chance.
Li Lingsu vented the pressure in his bladder, lowered his head, and saw a man in the manure trough called a fat mouse, half of his body soaked in manure, raised his head, and saw him with black eyes.And this kind of pain is just the beginning.The muscles of Luohan s skinny right arm suddenly swelled, and the veins on the back of the hand bulged.
Xu Qi an looked at Jinguang Mountain, Said Tell me.Prince, oh no, Emperor Yongxing intends to pass on this secret as a family secret.
Nalan Tianlu s powerlessness.The masters of Buddhism are too perverted, and Wei Yuan s leading ability is too perverted.It sounds like this old Taoist is a person with a story, but she doesn t have the idea to delve into it.
It seemed to be sealed by the fragments of the book from the ground, and it seemed to be sleeping.As the king of a country who is about to ascend the throne, he naturally has to be happy and angry.
Li Lingsu s heart shuddered when he saw it, and he frowned I, I don t have any status in the world.Moreover, the warming of the peace knife will also be due to this new Seeing Miao Youfang s decadent look from the corner of the eye, Xu Qi an warned in a good mood A truly strong man s heart is indestructible.
The little girl said in a show off tone.She was wearing an old cotton padded jacket with many stitches, probably due to malnutrition, and her complexion was a little sallow.He pushed out an invisible air wall like sea waves, causing the bed crossbow to break and the shells to explode in the air.
At this time, the beautiful woman said It doesn t matter whether there are dead people or not.Wait a minute.Luo Yuheng suddenly grabbed his hand.
Mu Nanzhi is different from other women.Li Lingsu didn t care about the difference.After Xu Nian had lunch at the mansion and said goodbye to Wang Shoufu, he went to the backyard and saw two younger sisters waiting there at the entrance of the inner hall.
Xu Qi an pinched the corner of the quilt and shook it vigorously.Everyone in the Canglong Xingsu Hall fell silent.The national teacher in Qianlong City has three major forces directly under him, namely the Warlock Organization in the city, the Twenty Eight Constellations, and the Palace of Heavenly Secrets.
In order to resist the desire of the body, Luo Yuheng bit his lips lightly, gained a brief sobriety, and then waved his palm again.Luo Yuheng, head of the Renzong Taoism.Duan King Kong replied.
A gleam flashed in Ji Xuan s eyes.Before Leizhou, Xu Qian once came to Yongzhou.The plan for now is to restore my cultivation first.
Overnight, you seem to have haggarded a lot.Xu Qi an glanced at the table, there was no problem with breakfast, white porridge, steamed buns and delicate side dishes.The two Taoist priests introduced themselves indifferently.
Note This must be a woman of noble status or beauty that would shock the party.He held the saber and stood proudly, unaffected at all.
Therefore, the heroes in Leizhou can hardly see the warlock s showy operations.
The old Chinese medicine doctors she found were not good, and I m afraid such a young Chinese medicine doctor was even less good.Wait for the patient s response After the condition is relieved and the limbs respond, I will change the patient s dressing.
Looking at Du Heng, he said, Come to me if you have anything to do.Tingting and I are gone, who will take care of the patients.
When he heard clearly the content of Wu Buwei s conversation, as a medical student about to graduate, his eyes were filled with shock and envy.you can live here with peace of mind. Du Hengqian gave in.
You re so kind. Wang Shuqiu leaned into Du Heng s arms and hugged Du Heng s waist tightly.Because the submerged pulse cannot induce sweating, and Huoxiang Zhengqi Water contains alcohol, which can induce sweating.
Is this good You are trying to silence Wu Buwei. After all, the only ones who knew the truth of the matter were Du Heng and Wu Buwei.None. The swollen pulse is responsible for the disease of death from blood.
Having been engaged in primary care for more than thirty years, he had never seen or even heard of Du Heng s level.Your pulse is one of three, weak, tender, and late, which shows that you are seriously ill.
Just tell Wang Zhenzhen when you go out. No matter whether you agree or not, as long as I say it, it will be regarded as your agreement.For example, as everyone knows, Viagra, or Sildenafil, is a drug that treats sexual dysfunction, but it actually treats cardiovascular disease.
When he walked over with a cane, he was not as tall as a third grade child.I had no choice but to shout in the heavy rain, Where s the village chief I m Du Heng, the doctor at the health center.
I checked it from the website, and it has been updated.I hope. The two stopped chatting and went about their own business after entering the building.
Wu Buwei and Ma Zichen worked extra hard today. When Du Heng arrived at the office, the two of them got into the practice room again.
Therefore, although the bald doctor and the thick glassed doctor did not come up with their own treatment plan, their opinions would still influence the hostess s attitude.Du Xuejing sealed the stove and took Du Heng to the house next door.
As for Zhang Jinlian, Du Heng subconsciously ignored it.They cried again and again and ran towards their homes one by one.
After settling in and leaving the ward, Du Heng said goodbye and left.Du Heng clapped gently, this kid is really handsome today.
Dr. Hou, right We ve found the problem. Dr. Hou s glasses widened.Even if he doesn t refuse, the big hospital will let Du Heng start as a resident doctor.
At this time, Zhang Xi had not yet woken up. Du Heng frowned, took the medicine box, and took out Suhexiang Pills from the medicine box.Li Xiang frowned a little. He needed to know the diagnosis made last time he went to the First City Hospital, as well as the treatment process.
Second father, second mother, are you here As soon as he entered the yard, Zuo Liangliang s voice became louder.I took out my phone and took a look, okay, 11 37. I got here at nine in the morning and spent three hours watching a whole family.
And Du Heng didn t have stage fright. He had already used the discussion between the bald doctor and the thick glassed doctor to figure out how to use the medicine.But it s different here at the township government.
Without her, it would be difficult for him to deal with the situation.This was also the first time in his life that he had been exposed to such a patient.
The patient said that his condition has worsened since this morning.But in the health center, what I did was to serve others.
Why are you lecturing me as you talk Du Heng was scolded and became speechless.Du Heng s noble behavior spread quickly in the health center.
It feels so good, from head to sole. But at the same time, Du Heng also understood why Wang Shuqiu was so anxious about his arrangements.
He was a little angry.It s not because she feels shy when a woman looks on while taking a bath, but because a certain paper figurine can see and touch, but it can t grow a plant.Xu Qi an smelled the scent and came to the stove, opened the pot on his own, and asked, Is the fish soup ready Xu Qi an stared at the light brown fish soup, which was the reason why soy sauce was added, he took a sip of the aroma, and said, Give me the spoon.
Wei Yuan sighed inwardly, stepped out, and said in a clear voice Your Majesty, please forgive me ps There are activities in the book review area.A formation Xu Qi an watched with relish.No, this is a feng shui formation, strictly speaking, it s not a formation.
Wei Yuan really attracted the attention of the major forces in Kyushu because of his commanding talent leading the battle.Some people had to come, they were forced to see it.
There were so many in previous years, and the country has been established for six hundred years.Get up the sedan chair, and quickly go back to the chief envoy.
I hesitated, whether to write more chapters of daily life, or continue to advance the plot.At two o clock in the morning, after finishing breathing and visualization, Xu Qi an, who had not slept for seven days, walked out with a candle Room.
Every time at this time, I am extremely envious of the first prostitute in the capital who has never met, but is like a thunderbolt.Speaking of you, she said that she is worrying about how to reply to your letter recently, because she doesn t like reading, and she is afraid that if she writes badly, you will laugh at her.
Fuxiang smiled and said, It is said that it was passed down from the palace.Yang Qianhuan.Bi Wang didn t speak for a long time, knowing that he had been tricked, and immediately, he also felt the shame that Xu Qi an just felt.
When this person became a watchman, he was still at the peak of the refinement realm.Does anyone say it Everyone couldn t help but glance at Xu Qi an.
The fourth letter.Fuxiang girl I haven t seen you in half a month, I miss you very much.The monk does not need to chant sutras and Buddha, or even keep the precepts.
Then he looked at Governor Zhang and said, People s fat and people s anointment.He is a prodigal son just like me.Song Tingfeng commented.
Girl, tell your mother in law what s going on.Lina pursed her lips and said, I met a friend recently, and he said that he had a friend who always picked up money for no reason.In the mist, those eyes seemed to be staring at Xu Qi an.
Sang Bo bottom Yang Qianhuan frowned.He had just returned to Beijing the day before yesterday, and today he represented Si Tianjian to help encircle and suppress a lunatic.15, is he the lame one It s him, but not the original boss.
Could it be that the family cannot go back His meaning is obvious, you are not going to run away, are you Are those people arrested Xu Qi an asked, and found that the four Jin Luoli who were arrested included Jiang Lvzhong.If not, I will fuck Yuan Jingdi s uncle.Just as he was slandering in his heart, an official stood at the door and said, Wei Gong, my lords, King Yu is here.
And he also has an identity, the dean of Yunlu Academy.They are all rare in the world.Where can I go to a place full of smog Li Yuchun shook his head and said, The three beheaded at noon today, are you going to watch Xu Qi an shook his head quickly No, I can t stand that kind of scene.
I have seen the ambition of this princess.If she was born in my time, she must be a domineering female president.Women are narrow minded, and the more beautiful a woman is, the more narrow minded she is.
Can t help but ask What kind of chess is this The two maids trembled in fright, got up anxiously, and replied softly It s backgammon.Gradually, seeing the Floating Fragrant Oiran now is worth men s bragging for days.
Her eyes widened instantly and she forgot to cook.This smell is both familiar and unfamiliar to her.
As he spoke, he said with a little lewdness in his eyes What my son wants to do, the Taoist master must also know it in his heart.Yu Liao put down the teacup in her hand, smiled and said Yan er, the critical barrier has been strengthened, would you like to go down the mountain with us for a walk Hearing this, Su Yan er glanced up and stood behind the master Tan Su, the elder brother of the school.
Moreover, she disdain to treat herself like this Threatening Tan Su.Chen, you have always been kind and generous.Last year s drought was due to your giving porridge to save our family.
There is no space for a piece of clothing, and after a long time, I don t know where it was thrown by myself.Chen Yuanwai heard Su Yaner s words, but he couldn t refute them, he could only sigh in his heart that beauty deceives people.
and even wants us to close the Taoist temple.Although his words seemed useless.Xu realized that the shaking of her head was a bit inexplicable, she glanced at the senior brother who came over, and then said Senior brother is so powerful, I would have thought that senior brother has always been a long sword wielder.
Although he had no intention of killing him, he did face him with the Qingchen sword in the name of his master cleaning up the family, and let him die by his sword.I m here to look for Su Ke, is he there The young man looked at her secretly, and when he heard what she said, there was a smile in his eyes.
Meng Xun heard the master s words, and he noticed the number of vines on the elder brother s hand.The visitor chuckled and came down.In the courtyard, there was a large red Shun character on the white folding fan in his hand, and he was shaking it back and forth with his master.
While repeating, Tan Su backed up with the sword in his hand.I have been a member of your Huai an Township, but you people with the surname Chen always feel that our family is outsiders, but you can t do without the benefits our family has brought to the town, do you want me to talk about it later Meng Fan looked calm at the moment As he talked, his eyes showed rare true feelings and sadness when he mentioned his parents.
Tan Su paused slightly as he spoke, as if he was controlling his slightly trembling and angry tone.Su Ziyang, who had no choice but to give up struggling, looked at Yu Liao with an indignant expression on his face, as if scolding her for not stopping her with that terrifying look.
Since they dare to hold this boat tour here near the Hairpin Conference, it shows that the other party also has good strength behind them, so it is good to make money.As she spoke, her eyes became firmer, and then she smiled at her sister, Sister, I already have someone who wants to do it.
I don t believe that she will not save the people below.This sudden surge of heartache made him cry out unexpectedly, as if Something is about to break through from his right hand.
At the moment when the door opened, she half opened her eyes and looked, although she was separated by the white veil on the bed, but because she was used to sleeping with a candle, the back of the man in black clearly fell into her eyes.It was the gentleness of the master after reaching the critical point that made Yan er s temperament more carefree.
Although it is also a pear cake with the fragrance of pear blossoms, its shape is obviously cuter than the former.Staring fiercely at Qin Su, Such a young age forced him to do this.
As painstakingly arranged.Seeing that he spoke smoothly, Tan Fu obviously knew what he needed to do when he came back.Let s go, the three of you should hurry back to your room and pack up, and I ll come to the teacher s academy later, I have something to tell you.
Susu shrugged at him I don t understand what you are talking about, Master.Finally, she sighed softly, and said to Tan Su when she was about to exit the room Qin Su, my junior sister didn t love you for nothing, I admit that I wanted you to do this selfishly, but I decided to give it to you.
Master, don t worry too much.the disciple will win tomorrow.She can recover after a while with some elixir.It s just.
Hearing the boy speak so quickly, it must be that many people have come to Senior Dugu for medicine.He is also dressed in a white shirt like the woman beside him.
Okay, since father has made up his mind, please teach Tan Feng more.Now that your memory has recovered, you are not afraid of meeting demons.
Answered.A few years ago, when I went down the mountain for the first time, a wild dog rushed towards the food in my hand, and I accidentally killed it.The young man was directly hit by this palm, and he was beaten out.
Because many old customers were attracted by the new oiran Su Yan, they are at this moment After checking the time with each other, it was discovered that Su Ma er hadn t uttered a voice for almost a year.At this moment, she lowered her head and carefully wrapped the white cloth around the wound on his arm.
Second senior brother, calm down After saying that, Yu Liao got up and turned around to them before saying, Senior brothers and sisters, did you see that I was injured, you still don t believe me, he won t get cheap from me Besides, we will let him participate in the Hairpin Conference, and my disciples will defeat him in an upright manner on the stage.
In the past, it was Shizun and her.Since the death of the master, it has been her and her senior brother, but the spiritual power of the senior brother is not a pure natural force of cultivation.Gather your spiritual power and try to transform into a form.
After she finished speaking, she ignored the elder sister s slight tug on her sleeve, and put a gloating smile on her face.This progress can be described as rapid progress, and it seems that it is not an exaggeration to say that it is hidden.
As she spoke, Yu Liao s voice choked up, and her eyes turned red.Sister, just choose.my younger brother s junior sister is also my half sister of Qin Su.
Our house is going to be unsafe.As soon as Su Yan er said this, the girl in charge of serving dim sum from the tray swayed, and almost broke the dim sum plate.com There are no comments on the third chapter of the child, please comment On the stage, the fan blade that Gu Jia attacked with all his strength shattered the vines condensed in Qin Su s left hand, but just when he was about to touch the long piano in Qin Su s right hand, it was too late, and Qin Su was surprised at him.
She hugged the white clothed woman beside her, and then took her to the stage to send her off.
