James Sheldon: Yes I can tell you that when my dear step father pasted away I ask the friends and family to meet in a circle and asked them to share what ever they wanted to say about this moment or about this incredible man and it was a very powerful way to open the space and to listen to each other. I was inspired by my OS experiences and it worked very well for us. Is this the kind of idea you have about using OS in funerals? We could used more probably but this took about one hour....
