So, what is an atheist's funeral like? like burying your "pet" parrot?

probably

Free food and a kick butt party!

Mine will have a jazz band playing, and lots of goodies to eat and drink (mostly drink)

Depends on the atheist, I would think. For mine, I'd like my friends to have a wake and remember my contributions to their lives.

That's pretty mean. Athiests are people, too. Not everyone has to have a religious-based ceremony when they die.
Besides, funerals aren't about the dead. They're for the survivors, to help deal with grief. And obviously you haven't lost anyone you loved or you'd be more sensitive.

Well, it will entail celebrating the person's life, and showing them respect. In which case, I would hope one would do that for their pets, yes.

I can't control the outcome of that event, my funeral, I suspect my wife will take me to the church and pretend I was godly and righteous, hopefully none of the girls I cheated on her with will show up and say how sorry they are for her lose, but if they do do you think they ll compare notes on my big sch long,

anyway, no man I don't really care, FY(k it Id be dead, and one another one bites the dust when Im alive we all just seem to play this stupid game of show up at church and pretend

Good observation. Atheists have no hope once they are dead. It is sad, because once they are dead the wish that they can come back to tell all of their friends not to be atheist. But they cannot tell their friends, we have to tell then to repent and believe in GOD and his son Jesus Christ who died for all of our sins.

A funeral service should be to hon our and pay respect for the life of someone who is now gone. It is an act of love. There are good qualities in all people. A funeral gives friends and family the opportunity to recognize those good qualities. If you know of no good quality in the person who died, your presence is meant to support the people who will miss the person they lost. If no one will miss the person, and they were bad to the bone, there is no reason for a funeral. Some people, in their last wishes, instruct their families and friends to pay tribute to them by having a party. Funerals can be as individual as people.

Just because someone is a non believer doesn't have anything to do with how their funeral would be or how the family would grieve.

Don't be so insensitive. Atheists' friends and family love them just as much as yours love you, regardless of religion (or lack of it). I think more people would show up to remember and grieve for a generous, loving atheist than a thoughtless as sh*le belonging to any religion... *cough*you*ahem*.

cant say that i will care as i will be dead!!!! but hoping everyone gets rat arsed and bury me in the garden!!!!!!!!!!
