Funerals

A requiem Mass, for the repose of the soul of the deceased. Black vestments are worn, for obvious reasons, also usually there is no communion. ( may vary in some areas)

. The education of a funeral director varies from country to country and from state to state. For instance, in the US generally two years of formal education is required along with a year of apprenticeship. Here in the UK, you have to get a diploma in funeral directing and two years of apprenticeship is required.

Much like Americans (when in their youth) try to avoid stepping on cracks in the sidewalk to avoid breaking their mothers back, Japanese people feel that if their thumbs are exposed while passing a funeral, or a hearse drives by, that their parents will die young. So they keep their thumbs hidden. Although there are some adults that still practice this, (Japanese tend to hold on to childhood things much longer than Americans) it is a silly superstition, that for the most part is not practiced by too many adults.

Do you still avoid stepping on cracks in the sidewalk? =)

It isn't a set tradition for members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) to give money at funerals, but some do. It depends on their personal preference and the desires of the deceased. Many Mormons these days choose to request a donation to a charity or foundation in lieu of flowers. Others ask for help with funeral expenses rather than flowers. It all depends on what the family wants.

As a Church, Church buildings and leaders are offered to hold and conduct the funeral at no charge, and each congregation has a women's organization that offers to provide a luncheon for the funeral attendees, also at no charge. All a Mormon family needs to pay for is the preparation of the body, casket, and burial.

It fills both of those purposes and more. A funeral gives family and friends the opportunity to farewell the person and is especially important if the death has been sudden. It provides an opportunity to honor the dead person and mark their life as important, no matter how short their obituary. Also, it providesan opportunity to show support for the family in their loss, as well as for them to see that their loved one was valued beyond the family.

You do not have to have an associates degree to clean a funeral home. They do require you to be VERY thorough. It is a job for someone who pays attention to the smallest details.

I don't know the licensing requirements for Pennsylvania or whether or not a felony would prevent you from pursuing the career. You can find out by consulting with the State Board of Funeral Directors.

More properly it is the Royal Standard ( not the typewriter by that name) this is often custom-made for a given monarch, as was the case with Queen Mary. It of course identifies the deceased as a member of the Royal Family- King, Queen, etc and this covers the funerary vessel.

Obama doesn't have a funeral plan. He is a private citizen now and would pay for his funeral.

When most creatures die, they begin to decompose.

Decomposing humans can have an objectionable smell.

Frankincense is used to mask the odor.

In the US, we call them funeral directors.

Three problems come to mind when I think about this.

1 - The size issue. Most pet urns are not even close to being big enough to hold what human cremation creates.

2 - Respect. Without being rude, wouldn't it be a bit disrespectful to the individual that passed away to put their ashes in an urn?

3 - It might be against the law. I would ask a funeral home if I were you if your urn is ok, don't mention the pet part and just show them.

But if you are ok with these 3 I don't see why not.

No real reason, but normallyt he costume of Mourning is black- however one wears a white shirt with a Black or even Navy Blue suit jacket- so there is already some contrast. White garments ARE often worn by the deceased, a classic example being Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands, who was given a white funeral. all of the trappings were in white, including the Dress the Queen was buried in. Wilhelmina died in l962 and was buried on either December 7 or 8 th so it is an apropriate question, today being the seventh.

Caskets are left open so you can see the person one last time before they are buried. Gradually it may look nasty but it is what they do.

No problem. Any dark colors to show respect that you picked a color that is somber. No one expects you to go buy black clothes for a funeral.

Bulletin is the right word. However there are small wallet-sized usually laminated Prayer cards which are printed up for most funerals- they are in a sense rather morbid collector"s items- I would not mind having one of Jean Harlow, for example, or Princess Grace~!

There are no rituals or traditions in a Jehovah's witness's funeral, The funeral is held whenever it is most convenient. A seventh-day adventist funeral is customarily held a week after the death has occured, it is appropiate that those who assist where black clothing garments, the women wearing sleeves past the elbows and skirts past the knees. No jewelry should be worn. In a Jehovah's witness's funeral there is no need to wear black, most may wear muted tones if they feel more comfortable that way but other colors are optional. Both offer consoling words to the families and aid them afterwards with their needs. Usually if the deceased was a witness then the speaker at the funeral will be someone within the cogregation (called and "elder") who will deliver a talk the whole procession will last about half an hour or so. In the adventist funeral no charitable donations are acceptable to be made. With the witnesses, there is no such rule, they help their spiritual brothers and sister however they see fit based on their needs and they help however they can by offering their services..

The state or local authority.

The man or woman is usually known as the Funeral Director.
