Funerals

"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:

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.

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.

Jewish answer: the soul is judged concerning all of its actions when it was alive.
This question is the most basic fundamental one of all human life. We have religion to give us a sense of meaning and purpose in our lives. And when we die, our families and others find comfort in that our "soul" has gone on to a better place, with no more pain or suffering. But different religions have different interpretations of what happens when we die. The Buddhists do not believe in the soul. The Hindus believe in re-incarnation. Christians think we go to either hell (for punishment) or heaven (for our reward for a life well lived). But of course there is NO REAL ANSWER. EACH INDIVIDUAL WILL FIND OUT WHEN THE TIME COMES. Holding onto the hope of a better, eternal life is one way to deal with the uncertainty of human existence.

If you made the funeral arrangements or otherwise contracted for them, then yes. Otherwise, you are not responsible. However, if you stand to inherit from the estate, creditors can take assets from the estate before they are passed along to you.

As a funeral director in Japan, I have seen two types of casket material over the year. The traditional type is made from white poplar. Today they're all made in China of cloth covered particle board, or MDF. Readers of Japanese can learn more at our company website. http://www.all-nations.jp

Well, this next one is Paine's greatest whopper, since no way he believes a word ... And he worked mightily to counter aspects of Christian theology that ....

It depends on the laws of your state and county, as well as the regulations of the cemetery in which the casket will be buried (assuming you want to use the casket for burial, and not just for display at a wake or viewing). In most cases, making your own casket is perfectly legal. To find out if any local restrictions apply, try calling a funeral home in your area.

First off let me say I am sorry for your loss.

Yes, if you and he were in a relationship, you should be there.

If you had been seeing one another for a short while, do not expect to be in the front rows of mourners as this is usually reserved for family.

If you have been together for more than a year, his family no doubt know about you, and should accommodating.

If you were together for a long time, say living together or talking about marriage, then his family should be expecting you to be there.

Be respectful of their loss, and they should be respectful of yours. Try to make your own arrangements for accommodations and transportation. In all cases I recommend you take emotional support of your own with you.

Remember that the funeral is for the family. If you have a contentious relationship with your ex-spouse you should not attend since that may add to your ex-wife's grief and discomfort at a very sad and stressful time for her. However, if the ex-husband and ex-wife have an amicable relationship, there is no reason why he should not attend her mother's funeral.

The ex-husband may show his respect for her mother in other ways. A card, flowers or gift to a charity in her name would be tasteful.
