A living funeral is a gathering centered around someone who will soon die. One of the more famous living funerals was that for Morrie Schwartz which was documented in both the book and film "Tuesdays with Morrie" and feature "Detroit Free Press" sports columnist Mitch Albom as one of the central characters. It may be imporant to the persons psychological state and also that of the dying person's family to attend the living funeral. It is also sometimes used as a time to read the will and explain the reasons behind some of the decisions contained within it.
