Funerals

CBC news reported that more than 10,000 people lined the streets of Toronto and the Metro Toronto Convention Center to pay their respects to the fallen officer. It is the largest funeral procession for a police officer in Canadian history.

Sgt. Russel was killed on Wednesday, January 12, 2011.

You could wear all black, but really the immediate family traditionally does that.

I am actually attending a funeral tomorrow for a good friends father. I am wearing a black dress, black sweater, black tights. I know a lot of black. but you should try to separate it with a tie, or a necklace or bracelets or something...

There are a few steps that need to be taken when one makes funeral plans. One should consider how much one costs, and if they want a burial, they may need to reserve a spot at a cemetery.

The funeral industry did not emerge until after the Civil War when the process of embalming became widespread and more accepted by the general public. Before the mid-19th century, the dead were often displayed in the family home in the "parlor," hence the term "funeral parlor" that is still in use today.

They are memorial or prayer cards, usually wallet-sized with either a religious picture or a small photo of the deceased, and the life dates, funeral data( parlor involved, grave site, etc) and usually as the name implies a prayer such as the famous 23Rd Psalm. Sometimes incorrectly called Mass Cards- This refers to a specific pledge for a Roman Catholic Mass offering and the term like many others is freely tossed around. the standard funeral prayer card is NOT STRICTLY SPEAKING a mass card, doubtlesas people will wave this flag (half mast we presume) of convenience.

If you mean Julius Caesar, Marc Antony had supreme authority immediately following Caesar's death as he was the only remaining consul. Then there was disruption, as the senate tried to justify the assassins, Octavian arrived, Antony was kicked out and a mini civil war occurred. Octavian switched sides and formed the second triumvirate along with Antony and Lepidus. Eventually the triumvirate fell apart, civil war ensued and Octavian was the victor, becoming Augustus Caesar.

______________ is not here. What you see before you is the tabernacle in which they lived here on earth. Tenderly and reverently we lay this body to rest. Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust. 1 Thessalonians 4:13 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him.

Yes they can. (Romans 12:15) However the main purpose of having a memorial service is to comfort the bereaved and to give a witness concerning the condition of the dead to those who attend. (Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10; 2 Corinthians 1:3-5) Another important reason for having a funeral is to help all in attendance to reflect on the transitoriness of life. (Ecclesiastes 7:2) By attending them, Christians can give evidence of the love and respect that they had for their fellow Christian. And they may be moved to think more seriously on the meaning of life, about how they should be using their own life before God.

The decision to open or close a casket for a jw funeral is left up to the family and/or funeral director recommendations based on condition of decease. Many religions prohibit an open casket in the temple/religious structure.

The beneficiary of a life insurance policy is not responsible for paying for the deceased's funeral cost using the money from the proceeds of the life insurance policy. The estate of the deceased is responsible for paying for the funeral cost from the proceeds of the estate.

Well, on Sundays it would usually be song, prayer, public discourse, song, Watchtower Study, song, prayer.

Thursdays would be Song, prayer, Book Study, Bible study, three 5-minute talks, song, announcements, and then 3 parts; these differ each week, then song and prayer.

District Conventions and Circuit Assembies are different, as is the Memorial of Christ's death. Hope that helps! Of course, you could always visit and find out....:)

The correct etiquette for sympathy thank yous (for flowers or just cards of sympathy) is to send cards back to the people who gave you either flowers or a card and add a little note at the bottom of the verse saying you appreciate their support in your time of need. However, it's not always necessary and at a later date when the person is over their grieving they can thank the persons by phone.

Whilst the actual funeral services, wakes, etc., are relatively inexpensive, based upon average funeral costs in different parts of the world, what raises the cost so dramatically are the coffins or receptacles used for the burial.

Coffins are custom designed, reflecting an important characteristic of the deceased's life, or perhaps in tribute to an aspiration the deceased may have had. Many of the coffins are hand-carved from soft woods, or a combination of plaster, chicken wire, and papier-mâché.

Some of the more memorable coffins have included a larger than life-sized Coca Cola bottle, A giant Nikon camera, numerous luxury vehicles - ranging from race cars to Mercedes limousines. Many coffins have been designed to resemble massive wing-spread eagles, or hawks, or giant tarpons, whales, and sharks.

One coffin that hit the international media several years back was when the grandmother of a gentleman who worked in the carpentry business died. His boss was a highly talented craftsman. The employee rather wistfully spoke about his grandmother's life and mentioned that she had never once been on an aeroplane.

This gave his boss an idea. He decided to build a replica of a DC-10-30, complete with Ghana Airways livery, to 'fly' his valued employee's grandmother towards the heavens.

The elaborate details and creativity of these coffins sometimes match the great artists of the world. The designs are done not only with creative style, but with empathy, compassion, and respect.

And today, the limitations to creating these amazing works of funerary art is only the bounds of your imagination.

If life insurance is payable to a beneficiary other than "the estate of ...[the decedent]", proceeds are payable directly to the named beneficiary and do not normally become part of the estate. However, if the designation of beneficiary of the life insurance policy is the estate of the decedent, proceeds do usually become part of the estate.

The funeral derecter will make roughtly 500,000dollars and that is with the taxes and money for gas for all the cars but its close to 700,000 you figure 7,000 per body and you get around 113 bodies a year

A funeral pyre is a collective of combustible material (such as wood) placed together to effectively dispose of a dead persons body. Typically seen in countries such as India and is based on the same process as cremation. The body is disposed of by burning as in cremation in the UK and USA but is typically done outside. In India this can be often seen at locations along the river ganges where after the pyre have finished burning the ashes are pushed/scattered in the river. Although based in religious practice it serves also to satisfy public health precautions due to decomposition of the dead in a hot country can lead to outbreaks of disease (cholora)

Prices vary from country to country. In the United States, the cheapest wooden caskets (like cloth covered particle board coffins) start at prices around $ 500. Cardboard caskets are even cheaper. The most expensive wooden casket is currently (in 2014) Batesville's (Marsellus) "Masterpiece" solid African Mahogany casket with a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $ 38,000, but offered by Online casket retailers already at prices around $ 16,000 (plus 2,000 for an optional carved top). Metal casket prices start around $ 700 for unsealed 20 gauge steel caskets (Online casket retailers), sealed metal caskets being somewhat more expensive. Sheet copper and bronze caskets are available from § 2,000 (Online casket retailers). The most expensive casket on the market is currently a 1,100 lbs heavy cast bronze Pharaoh Sarcophagus manufactured by the York-Matthews Company, offered at a manufacturer's suggested list price of

$ 270,000, but sold by discount casket retailers already at a "bargain" price of

$ 160,000. The casket prices charged by funeral homes are often considerably higher than those of Online casket retailers.

Some churches ban or try to avoid having BOTH funerals and weddings on Sundays! The reason is simple (traffic control) - There is a regular block of Masses on sundays and other church services would interrupt this divine stream. In the Catholic Church this is common. Weddings are often performed on Saturday Afternoons- primarily to avoid any traffic problems with the normal schedule of masses. Traffic control and management, not abstruse theology, is the reason usually given. also- it is not permissible to be Married in the church on or near certain church seasons ( such as Lent) or holidays such as Christmas including the Season ( up to Epiphany) it is again based on a traffic-control argument.

a burial chamber underground, usually in a graveyard or church.

Yes, that would be polite to do. It is always alright to send thank you notes in most situations. I am truly sorry for the widow we speak of , I wish the best for you.

In cases of extreme bereavement, the bereaved may designate someone to write the Thank you notes for him or her.
