I am a Christian, trying to according to the Bible. I go to a church and I am very informed about all of the details of Christianity. Christians do hold funerals. We held a funeral for someone who passed away about a year ago.

Why did Ted Kennedy have a state funeral?
Ted Kennedy did not have a state funeral. He had a BIG funeral -- not the same thing. A state funeral is officially sanctioned by the Congress and is under the auspices of the Miltary District of Washington. Although the senator was accorded many honors and courtesies during his funeral events, this was not among them. To see the contrast, see the Ronald Reagan funeral. Although the flag that covered his casket could be ordered by the President of the United States for any distinguished American, this is an honor accorded to any veteran of the United States military--and Kennedy did his two-year in the U.S. Army.

Does Medicare or Medicaid help with funeral expenses?
NO. I say again, NO! SS only pays less than $300 at death. You need Final Expense insurance for pennies on the dollar to pay for the funeral, tombstone, grave site, graveside service, medical bills, probate, estate taxes, etc, etc. If you don't, you leave that financial Burden with your family. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ My original answer that Medicaid covers funeral expenses still stands. This is a state by state thing. Some states do and some don't. Indiana Medicaid does pay for SOME funeral expenses; body burial and cremation. The Indiana Medicaid coverage for a body burial is insufficient to cover those costs. Indiana recently raised their maximum for cremation. One cremation company based in Indianapolis will accept the Medicaid money and include an urn without any costs to the family. For information on funeral expenses you may want to take a look at the web site Funerals and Ripoffs. You will be surprised when you read the documented facts about the funeral industry and the site will show you how to save money in planning the funeral. funerals-ripoffs.org
What is a funeral home and funeral directors?
There came a time when families no longer wanted to "Sit up" at the wake. This is a time when the family/friends would sit up all night long with the corpse before the funeral. A funeral home is a business that will remove the human remains from the place of death and prepare it as the family wishes, or as required by law. The funeral directors are the people that direct the family in the customs of funerals. A funeral director must be licensed by a state bar in most states, and must maintain education in order to renew their license each year in the United States. They must have a vast knowledge of all funeral customs, religious laws, and government laws concerning death. The director also assists the family with insurance paperwork, filing social security death notice, public announcements, and many more aspects of the death industry. A funeral director in many cases may also be an embalmer (a person who preserves, cleans, and prepares the body for burial), but does not have to be.
