TN.CZ / NOVA: Interview with Oleg Vojtíšek about the role of Funeral Guides

🖤 What is a funeral actually for? Oleg Vojtíšek talked about it on TN.CZ.

1️⃣ First, you need to realize that the deceased is no longer here, that this is the real end of their earthly journey. A funeral in a ceremonial hall or crematorium is the only thing that will fulfill this for us. But nothing else.

2️⃣ A good funeral will help you say what you didn't manage to, couldn't say.

3️⃣ To come to terms with - death, the deceased, relatives, but also with yourself.

4️⃣ Try to achieve forgiveness - if I owe something to my father who died, then return it to the widow or son, for example.

5️⃣ Involve the community in mourning - such as colleagues or neighbors.

6️⃣ And celebrate the life of your loved one - we've already noticed that they died, but now we should celebrate how they lived and how we lived with them.

A good funeral helps you say goodbye, come to terms, take a breath, and move on. Because mourning only begins with the funeral.
