Funerals

Yes you do! It also happens in other States and in Canada. It's common courtesy and the law in Georgia. Georgia State Law for Funeral Processions: If you are traveling the same direction or they are coming toward you, you do not have to stop. You may stop, but, if you do so, you must pull completely off the road to allow other vehicles to pass and that is the law. So, while it is a courtesy, you do not have to stop The only exception to this is, often, if they are crossing an intersection, officers will stop cross traffic, but that is really the only time you must stop.

No.

It depends on your gender. Woman are allowed if not encouraged to cover their heads in a Catholic church and therefore may wear hats or veils appropriate to the occasion. This goes as well for when at the cemetery.

Men must remove their hats out of respect to God when in a church and when on hallowed ground. It is also a common sign of respect to the deceased as well as the others whose bodies are buried in the cemetery.

Females should wear a light colored Indian styled suit to a Sikh funeral. (Preferably white) And remember to cover your head! IMPORTANT TRADITION ALL SIKHS MUST COVER THEIR HEAD TO SHOW RESPECT IN THEIR HOLY PLACE.

If you mean with regard to preparing a dead body ready for burial/cremation, they leave it to professional funeral personnel. There is no religious requirement as to preparation, apart from the usual respect.

You don't get a funeral if you can't pay. The county will pay for a cremation. Many funeral homes base their charge on "whatever the casket costs." That includes everything from embalming to the actual service.

It may depend on the religion of the deceased or the survivors. In Judaism and other religions that originated in hot, dry climates, the time frame may be as little as 48 hours. In other situations there may be a longer interval to allow time for attendees to travel from long distances.

Just saying "I'm sorry to hear your mom died." Sending a Sympathy card. Sending flowers to a funeral home. Giving a bereaved person a hug. These are all expressions of sympathy.

Similar to the Hindu rituals except the body is taken to the Gurudrawa first then to the cremation grounds for the last funeral rites on a pyre.The Gurugranth is chanted instead of the vedic chants.

Prior to the use of embalming chemicals in corpses, flowers at funerals were used to help mask the odors from the decaying body.

After the use of embalming chemicals became common, the use of flowers became tradition and symbolizes condolences, respect and affection for the deceased person(s).

The rituals surrounding death and burial in Judaism are very specific. The funeral must be lead by either a rabbi or someone Jewish (in non-Orthodox communities, it can be either a Jewish man or woman). Although it might be acceptable for a non-Jew to speak at a Jewish funeral in some communities, it would never be appropriate for that person to speak on behalf of the family.

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. Our funerals are not so much in admiration of the person who died as they are as to remind others that death is any step and to intrust their lives in God's hands instead of walking without care in this life. This was the message at the last funeral I went to.

Funerals typically take a few hours, but there is no fixed duration. Some are more elaborate than others.

"In the face of death, the Church confidently proclaims that God has created each person for eternal life and that Jesus, the Son of God, by his death and resurrection, has broken the chains of sin and death that bound humanity. Christians celebrate the funeral rites to offer worship, praise, and thanksgiving to God for the gift of a life which has now been returned to God, the author of life and the hope of the just."

Here is a list of some of the most common funeral flowers and their meaning:

• Lilies symbolize life and hope

• Carnations mean pride and beauty

• Chrysanthemums say devotion and loyalty

• Gladioli for strength and integrity

• Statice for remembrance

• Roses denote love

• Hydrangea represent heartfelt expressions

• Poppies illustrate consolation

• Sunflowers signify loyalty

• Marigolds comfort the heart

• Iris indicate faith

• Lavender for admiration

• Hyacinth typifies loveliness

• Zinnia as a daily remembrance

If the executor personally signed for the funeral, yes. Typically the estate pays the cost of the funeral. In that case the executor would pay the bill from the estate, not out of his own pocket.

Being kind, caring, charitable and compassionate to all humans in general, and to the bereaved in particular is obligatory on each Muslim. The bereaved family can't take care of the guests who come to them from distant places to express their sympathy with that family. Thus it is the duty of the near relatives and neighbours to support that family.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) recommends burial whenever possible, however, the Church understands that in some areas, burial is illegal or extremely expensive. Also, if it was the will of the deceased to be cremated, the Church will not prohibit the family from doing so. In short, the Church highly recommends burial, but will not prohibit cremation.

A "businessman" could mean any employee of a business -- from a middle manager all the way up to a CEO. Thus, the average yearly income varies widely.

According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the "median annual wages of general and operations managers in May 2008 were $91,570. Because the specific responsibilities of general and operations managers vary significantly within industries, earnings also tend to vary considerably."

It is not appropriate to bring anything to a Jewish funeral. If you wish to provide food for the family members of the deceased, your best option is to speak to a close friend to find out what arrangements are being made. Most communities with kosher caterers work with these caterers to make sure that all meals are taken care of.

It all depends on the family. there is no religious angle pro or con. As the half-open or (playing card) presentation of the casketed body is most common-often shoes are omitted. Many people are buried barefoot . The Empress Elisabeth of Austria was in this category- and her robes were done up about her legs covering the area completely, There is a nice picture of her ( In Heaven) on the l908 Austrian Monarchy l00Corona, she is wearing ( naturally) an Empire gown. On the other hand if the casket is open full length- usually some sort of footwear is advisable- but floor length dresses can be used and triced up. as was done with Elisabeth, and also Sarah Bernhardt (who had had one leg amputated in l9l4). This makes the song ( Christmas shoes) look so silly, I:d say most people are buried barefoot.
