For the respect.

One should distinguish between Mass Cards and Prayer cards. a mass card is specifically an offer for a Mass ( Roman Catholic service in church) to be performed in honor of the deceased. This is not necessarily the actual requiem mass which there would be only one surch service. If someone only found out about the death after the funeral was over- which can happen-look at communications breakdowns following Hurricanes, or other combinations of accidents and communications failures- the proper course of action. One should not confuse- but many do, actual Mass cards with the smaller prayer cards which have usually, the basic facts of the deceased ( life dates, usually sometimes a picture- and usually the 23Rd Psalm or some other prayer, hence the term prayer card. these are mass-produced ( no pun intended) by the Funeral homes ( actually by affiliated printers) and are distributed gratis at the funeral parlors. They usually have religious themes. ( for example a portrait of a historical Nun) or Praying hands, etc, but are not necessarily actual Mass Cards. these things are in no way admission tickets or passes to funeral events, by the way, souvenirs, yes. so get it straight. Mass Cards and Prayer cards are two different entities

I'm not precisely certain in what context you're asking this question. If a loved one has passed away and you're unable to attend the funeral, many people still celebrate their loved one's life at a similar time. If you're a person of faith, you may wish to celebrate through reflection and prayer at your local parish church.

If you are not a person of faith, but possibly a spiritual person, you can set aside time from your day where you turn off the mobile phone, not answer the door and light a candle - candles reaffirm life, and read a selection of either your or your loved one's favourite passages or poems.

If you're Anglo/Catholic, you may request a private Mass from your local priest. Sharing the Eucharist affirms life and the faith one holds in the new life to come.

Alternatively, if you're referring only to 'visitation,' where you come to a funeral home or facility to view your uncle, the laws and customs vary from country to country. In the United Kingdom, the right of visitation on viewing remains with the next of kin - that being the one who has signed the contract for the funeral. However, in many circumstances, provided your family is close, it may take as little as a phone call for the funeral service to arrange a private time for viewing. It can be challenging for the funeral director as there may be numerous other funerals and services taking place, where all the chapels or viewing rooms are occupied. Additionally, a number of funeral directors do not do 'casketing' (placing the loved one into the coffin), until just before the scheduled wake or funeral. This is to ensure preservation and protection to the often very expensive coffins. Therefore, it may not be possible for those reasons.

If in doubt, first ask. Go directly to the head of household and ask whether they mind. With their permission, then either they may contact or you may contact the funeral director, explaining the challenge you're facing over not being able to attend the funeral, and ask whether they could arrange fifteen minutes for you to be with your Uncle. Do not be upset if they agree but state that they must remain in the room with you. This is for legal reasons and should not be thought of as being disrespectful to you.

Finally, it may be that the head of family either decided to, or were advised to not provide an open coffin for any wake or funeral. There are many reasons why this is best for families, ranging from physiological changes to the body, trauma, or certain illnesses which required radioactive therapies.

Yes.

Usually the next of kin makes the decision. In some cases the deceased has already made arrangements for a burial plot or where they want their ashes interred. They may also specify in their will where they are to be buried and how the funeral is to be handled.

Yes.

the body can be kept for a least 6 days before it starts to rott and the body turns purple and blue.

A funeral director basically takes care of the funeral in regard to the family's wishes. The tasks include preparing the body for viewing and burial, scheduling the funeral and viewing and communicating with other parties, such as the cemetery, flower companies, honor guards, life insurance companies, death certificate providers, etc. and mourners who need information about the funeral. We strive to take the burden of dealing with the details off of the bereaving family.

I'm very sorry that your mother's died- please accept my sincere Sympathies. You'll have enough to cope with at the moment without having to deal with the added unpleasantness of sibling conflict as well. But to answer the question , no- they can't legally prevent you from attending the funeral of your next of kin, and it would be very difficult for them to actually physically stop you from being at the funeral ceremony or the burial / cremation (the only way they could do this would be to hire minders or security guards, who would be unlikely to be willing to be involved in such a situation). There's nothing to stop them from being unpleasant to you at the funeral, trying to humiliate you in front of other mourners, making a scene, getting abusive etc. etc., though this would reflect badly on THEM were this to happen. It all really depends upon whether you are prepared to run the risk of this possibility, and how you think you'd cope if anything like this did happen. My own recommendation would be for you to try and come to some sort of compromise agreement with them, i.e. agreeing not to attend any reception, social gathering etc. if they will just let you go along to the funeral service and the interrment.

A crematorium.

yes

There is no set dress code for a Mormon funeral, although traditionally most people will wear "Sunday Best" or "Church Dress". Mormons do not believe that black or dark somber colors must be worn to a funeral, any color or pattern is acceptable. Occassionally the family may requestthat guests wearsomething specific, such as the deceased's favorite color or something they would have enjoyed (jeans and cowboy boots, for example).

Most women will be wearing a skirt or dress, although dress slacks are acceptable. Hats orother headcoverings (veils, scarves)are not typically worn but are also acceptable.

Most men will wear a dress shirt and slacks with or without a tie. Suit coats are also common. Casual hats are not acceptable although dressy hats are sometimesworn byolder men.

A funeral is basically an honoring of the deceased; a way to secure their rise to the afterlife, and sometimes to give them what they need to succeed and thrive there.

For example, in typical American funerals, people put flowers in the graves of the deceased, put the person in their best clothes, and also placed meaningful things into the coffin along with the deceased.

In Ancient Egyptian times, Pharaohs used to be buried with riches and their servants during their lifetime, so they could serve them in the afterlife, and the Pharaoh would also prosper and be at peace.

If your sister passes away, it is important to take care of yourself and seek support from loved ones and professionals to help navigate your grief. It may also be helpful to participate in rituals or activities that honor your sister's memory. Remember to give yourself time to grieve and express your emotions in a healthy way.

I would argue that a fruit basket is the best gift you can send to show respects to your cousin's family. When you have lost someone, you forget to take care of yourself. Many people forget to eat because of the stress and demands that are placed upon them. Often times, the people who are closest to the deceased, who are feeling the greatest amount of sorry and grief, must spend the next week preparing the funeral, and comforting others. If you send them an edible arrangement with fresh fruit directly from the orchards, award winning cheeses, summer sausages, honey crackers, gourmet chocolates, not only will they have something to eat, it will be quality food to support them emotionally and physically through this trying time.

Mourners wore white, which was considered the colour of death in Ancient Egypt (as it was in Imperial China). The mourners did not wear any jewellery or adornment, just simple white garments.

It also seems from wall paintings as if some of the mourners were professionals, or choreographed in some way, as they appear to be following ritual movements, gestures and wailing.

On the other hand, most of these paintings show funerals of royal or very important and wealthy people, who could afford a really impressive funeral. It's unlikely ordinary people could afford professional funeral goers. But practically everyone could afford a simple garment of linen or wool.
