Includes a funeral
 
A funeral is a ceremony (sometimes called a “celebration of life” or a “memorial service”) that honors and memorializes the life of an individual who has died. Funeral practices vary in different cultures, and this will be reflected in your reads. For this prompt, choose any book that includes a funeral. There may be several chapters (or the entire book) designated to this event, or it may only be mentioned in a paragraph or two.

The book picked could be a humorous recounting of a funeral for a pet goldfish, or an emotional story that moves you to tears. It could be for a character who was hated by his family or one who works as a funeral director or mortician (also known as an undertaker.) It could be a non-fiction read about burial practices, or a book that was chosen simply because it has the word “funeral” in the title.

Creatively, you could also choose a book that has a cemetery or hearse on the cover. It’s up to you what extent the book involves a funeral, and whether you want a light read or something heavier.
