​

3. Writing of a kasàlà

Very often, we need to celebrate your loved ones on different occasions such as :

 

  • Birthdays

  • Births

  • Weddings

  • Expressing gratitude

  • Promotions

  • Mournings 

  • Etc.

​​

Mourning kasàlàs are recited at the funeral home, in the church or at the cemetery. This practice appears to reform the morose funeral ritual in the West by strongly celebrating life in the deceased person and in the community. We've been doing this in Belgium and in Quebec with very much success. The participants overwhelmingly reflect their joy 

​

For all these occasions, we can create a kasàlà for you. One of the amazing things about human beings is that each person is special, unique. In order to create the appropriate kasàlà-portrait or sculpture of your loved one, we will need a few infos about them, f.i. :

​​​

  • Names, nick-names 

  • Elements of their lineage (as far as you can go)

  • Date and place of birth

  • Events surrounding their birth, or wedding, or death

  • Family, education, social backgrounds

  • Details on their family (children, grand-children, sisters & brothers...)

  • Friends, colleagues, neighbours

  • Place where they live

  • Philosophical options

  • Profession, carrier

  • Qualities (competences, skills, ressources, talents…)

  • Odd habits, little ways (these only aim at highlighting the qualities)

  • Achievements

  • Projects

  • Dreams

  • Passions, hobbies

  • Travels

  • A few pictures

  • Etc.
