The secular magazine ''The European'' writes about atheist/secular funerals:
{{Cquote|Yet – and it feels like heresy to write this – secular funerals, for all their sincerity, individuality, and mixture of celebration and mourning, lack something. Not spirituality of course, nor hope for the future: in this context realism should prevail over comforting illusion. What is missing is the power of ritual repetition.<ref>[http://www.theeuropean-magazine.com/nigel-warburton--2/6796-atheist-rituals A Secular Funeral]</ref>}}
