GAY FUNERALS

Gay/Lbian GLBT Funerals. In recent years, few groups have faced ath more often than gay men, or more creatively. Still, ’s still all too rare for gays and lbians to have their aths honored and rualized appropriately.

Says one of our ctomers: “After a lifetime of g to terms and fally embracg and celebratg the gay life style (spe church and certa dividuals tellg you you will go to hell), jt don’t feel right to be neatly packaged up some other way, to be nied who I’ve really been. In acrdance wh your wish, we offer quiet, meangful gay and lbian funeral r as well as flamboyant, radil fairy parti.

The same article that lists the top LGBTQIA+ profsns the US explas that, “Our fdgs suggt that gay and lbian workers might be drawn to a different set of occupatns than heterosexual workers and perhaps brg wh them a distct set of skills to the occupatns.

” Furthermore, the article om Admistrative Science Quarterly explas that, “social perceptivens is likely to emerge as an important social adaptatn or pg skill for many gay and lbian people at a relatively young age. In an terview for the Deathre Ded podst, Jason Engler, licensed funeral director, certified celebrant, and renowned crematn and urn historian, explas why, as a gay funeral director, he thks so many LBGTQIA+ people are drawn to and thrive the athre space:.

So far as I n remember, the first gay funeral I ever attend was for Ralph Wilson. I knew ar Ralph om the Universy of Michigan-Flt, where he was one of the few semi-out gay stunts on mp the early 1990s. Over the years, I have also e to see the special importance of gay funerals.
