Best Dead Golfer Funeral Ideas

Golfers are an individuals who love the game of golf and life too.

In as much golfers want to live forever and play that perfect game of golf someday, everyone dies . But golfers want to go out with a ” Long Drive Right Down the Middle of the Fairway of Life”.

So these days more Golfers are having a Golf Themed Funeral-Party to remember them by. Most want their funerals to be a Celebration of Life, a Hole in One, a Double Eagle !

They want folks to reflect on the good times they had on the golf course and “the fellowship” had with friends and family. How they do this is a mixture of bringing the course to the funeral or even having the funeral at the golf course.

Recently my father passed away and we had a “Celebration of Life” for his funeral. He was really an active guy and did all kinds of things especially after retirement. He sang Barber Shop, Bowled, snow and water skied, square danced, built stuff, traveled, tennis, did gardening and fished. But his favorite sport was Golf. So when we had him Cremated,with mom’s wishes , he was put into a ” Golf Bag Urn”.

My mother just loves it. She brings him out in the garden with her sometimes and sits and talks to him to brag about stuff or just remember the times they golfed together. What a great piece to honor him.

Many golfers and families are doing even more to celebrate the golfer by having there bodies presented in a golf coffin. They can rent the coffin to present “dead golfer in” and have them cremated later or to bury them in the coffin. Here are a few coffins that are being made for the Golfer.
