告别的新玩儿法（朗读版）| E0123

▍原文

Britons are increasingly shunning traditional funerals in favour of more unusual send-offs, which last year included a McDonald's-themed drivethrough event and a service for a magician where the undertakers wore red noses. 

Two-fifths of UK adults now want their funeral to be a celebratory affair, according to Co-op Funeralcare, while soaring demand for personalisation means the provider has seen requests for alternative hearses, such as adapted Land Rovers and rainbow-hued vehicles, rise by a fifth in three years.
