The word funeral is often traced back to the Latin term, funus. It is considered a general term that loosely translates to death, corpses, or even the funeral ceremony itself. Others relate it in translation to the word "torch" because in many ancient ceremonies, including Roman, a torch was used to lead their dead loved ones to the other side.
