To borrow the words of Oleg Vojtíšek, their organization strives to transform something that was perceived as depressing, bad, and terrible into something beautiful that helps and brings reconciliation.
"Fortunately, today you can organize a memorial service however you like," says Oleg Vojtíšek, founder of Pohřební průvodci, in an interview with Marianne magazine. Those who have done so all agree that it was a beautiful experience.
“A personalized funeral helps,” says Oleg Vojtíšek, founder of Pohřební průvodci, an association that helps bereaved families organize a more personalized final farewell for their loved ones, confirming my assumption.
“It should take place at a location connected to that person—somewhere they loved or where we want to go to remember them. For example, by a river, in a park, or at a villa.”
"With the people he loved and who loved him—or even those who didn't, but who want to make peace," he continues.
“What brings me the greatest joy is that people come up with their own ideas about where the ceremony will take place and what will happen during it, and they call us with a specific vision, which we simply help them refine and bring to life. The result is truly their own ceremony—a personal one that reflects how the deceased lived and how they lived with him or her,” she notes optimistically.
