Death isn't the opposite of life, it's a part of it, says funeral guide Oleg Vojtíšek on Czech Radio Plzeň.
The Funeral Guides association often organizes funerals in nature, but also in a villa or lounge. "Planting trees is already a great tradition. A tree is a beautiful living memory, it gives us shade and moisture, we have to take care of it a little, and as it grows, we come to terms with the loss. Or we have clients write down on paper what they didn't get to say to the deceased, we fold the papers into boats and let them go down the river. Messages can also be written on balloons, which we release. Our specialty, for example, is that in a balloon we can release the ashes of the deceased into the stratosphere," described Oleg Vojtíšek.
