Funerals
A funeral is a ceremony marking a person’s death. Customs include the beliefs and practices used by a culture to remember the dead, from the funeral itself, to various monuments, prayers, and rituals undertaken in their honor.
These customs vary widely between cultures, and between religious affiliations within cultures.
The word funeral comes from the Latin funus, which had a variety of meanings, including the corpse and the funerary rites themselves.
Because relationships never end… only change, the completion of them is necessary for our future health, both mental and physical. We all must complete and heal our emotional relationships with those that have died — and then say good-bye. Planning ahead either for your own or someone else’s can actually helpthe healing process.
Funeral rituals have 3 main parts: Visitation, Service, and Burial. You may be involved in the planning as much, or as little as you wish.
