The traditional religious funeral is on its way out, with people opting for quirky, personalised services celebrating their loved one’s life instead or not marking their passing at all.  Getting a commemorative tattoo and disposing of ashes in the engine of a steam train or on a firework are among the most unusual ways to mark the deaths of loved ones.
