Eulogy. from the Greek- to speak well- of someone.

Purple is associated with suffering, Passion ( in the religious sense) and also royalty and imperial might ( the Flag of the Empress in Japan, not mortuary at all, is a Gold Chrysanthemum against a Purple Field- sunset indeed- it could also simulate the sun going down- a death in the family One is reminded of a song ( don't let the sun, go down on me).

Actually, some cemeteries allow this. The plots are usually "double-decker" style, where the first decedent is buried deeper, creating the remaining space for the second decedent. This is more common in spousal plots.

In the UK the funeral is normally paid from the deceased's estate or life insurance. If this is not possible then a family member or friend will usually pay but are not obliged to. If they do not the state (local council/authority) pays for a minimal funeral.

Yes they do if they can/want.

Once trekking trough hills, found a nice tomb in an half moon design belonging to a couple ♥

Hi there, pay for funeral directors can vary greatly, like any business it all boils down to how good you become at running a company overall. Here in the UK, funeral directors make a good living, most earning in excess of £50,000 PA.

a bow and arrow you want to make it real special

The Archbishop of Canterbury is the clerical head of the Church Of England, so the honours ( UK) spelling would be incumbent on him. He is the sort of Bishop-In-Chief of the various Episcopalian Bishops. The very adjective Episcopal refers to the rank and dignity of a Bishop- or Episcopus in the Latin version.

in the absence of any instruction from the family it would be appropriate. There are times however when those who have been deprived of the death of a loved one request donations to some worthy cause, some charitable institution. A discrete word prior to the funeral should answer the question

It is called Suttee sometimes spelled Sati, and is as one might guess, an illegal practice.

Depending on where you live in this world you can have any type of funeral you desire. Knowing that the Norse came from the extreme cold climate of Scandinavia, in ground burial would have to been very difficult to break through with the tools of the time. Therefore most were cremated atop funeral pyres and some even on funeral ships set ablaze and "sailed" out to open sea. However in modern times, the intentional sinking of anything is not without it's own legal burden.

The dead were placed atop the pyre and gifted items of his trade, Articles that would help him in the afterlife and items he was used to using. Fishing and Hunting, and Farming were the primary "trades" of the Vikings. Though history would have us think the Vikings were no more than world wide bullies.

WIKIPEDIA: While funeral pyres are still used in several cultures, they are very uncommon and even illegal in some cultures, particularly in the Western World. Despite cremation being commonplace, open air cremations in the United Kingdom were thought to be unlawful under the Cremation Act 1902 - although in recent years, some have taken place amongst immigrant communities. In February, 2010, a court of appeals in the United Kingdom ruled that a cremation on an open pyre would be legal inside of a building with an open roof, well away from roads and homes. In the US, A group in Crestone, Colorado has done the research, obtained the necessary legal permissions and created a permanent cement pyre structure to perform around 12 "open-air cremations" a year.

Except that whoever died their time was up...and if they were old especially. and have comfort in the fact that they had a good life were good to their family and friends and society...and if neither of the above are true..then they're not worth cryin over!

Usually, people that cant stop crying at a funeral or in general is because there are over run by emotions. sadness. when a person passes away its very sad because you wont see that person again. depending on you beliefs until you see them again in heaven etc.... your remembering the times and things you've shared together etc.. in which is very emotional.

I suggest what everyone wears to funerals, black. Maybe a knee-length skirt(black) with a black top and a shaw over it to top it off, nothing fancy with the hair. To be on the safe side you might want to look up hispanic funerals on Google, as this might help.

Its called SATI.

Well if you have met him before then yes but if he is just an old man that you don't know one bit then just don't go

Yes if the purpose is to mourn the loss of a loved one or friend, or to comfort and support the mourners because of a connection to the deceased or to the mourners. It is very commonplace -- and it is not limited to Christians -- people of all faiths who have those purposes are welcome. Is there a family that might take exception? Of course, but that would be true for any faith based on personal choice. For instance, sometimes a family will have a family or private funeral only; then nobody other than the specific invitees are welcome.

this depends on whether the musicians are already receiving a stipend (payment) for their services. A decision to offer a gratuity is also culturally based, as where in almost every other country, stipendiary musicians would not be expected. The US, for example, has a propensity to expect gratuities for, well, pretty much anything, from pouring a cup of coffee at a counter, where the staff have merely done what they were employed to do, to the porter at a door, who was hired to do the same thing.

Using an extremely rough guide, approximately twenty percent of the fee would be an 'etiquette' based rule of thumb for the US. It should be handed to the conductor or lead, to distribute among the other musicians.

Outside of the US, stipends for a single musician, such as a pianist to organist, can range anywhere from circa GBP£50-150. (USD$75-200).

Andrew Jackson, he of Old Hickory fame. I have heard this story before and methinks it is some kind of a myth- like that jab that the Statue of Liberty may have been patterned after Sarah Bernhardt ( this was done on a theatrical poster for her US tour- after the statue was built, of course). I just think it is some attempt at lightening up a sad subject.

It is traditionally family that carries the casket, however when family's are very small or not close, friends would be perfectly acceptable as well.

I think it makes sense to make your wishes known. I have seen arguments break out over what the deceased should wear and where to have the funeral, and debates over burial vs. cremation. You might also want to choose hymns and Bible verses. Prepaying for a burial site also seems practical to me.

Yes, of course someone can be asked not to attend a funeral. Just as someone can be requested not to attend any other event, such as a wedding, etc.
