Funerals

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.

W. H. Auden (full name was Wystan Hugh Auden)

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.

The costs vary by airline and by what condition the remains are in. They go by air frieght, so in addition to the special packaging you get charged for weight. If the body has been cremated, you just need a sealed urn in a box and the proper paperwork. An embalmed body is shipped in an FAA approved, special cardboard casket banded to a special pallet- the airlines actually have special carts just for handling these. An unembalmed body may be shipped but usually it has to be in a sealed metal casket.

Cremated remains might cost $300 or more to ship cross country, an embalmed body or casket upwards of $2000 for cross country flight (plus of course the emblaming and prep work, and the container, with a steel casket easily costing thousands by itself). This does not include permits, paperwork, fuel surcharges, etc. The paperwork is extensive, so the best bet is to find a funeral home that has experience shipping bodies by airline, and let them handle everything. At a busy airport each major airline may handle a dozen bodies a day, so there is no reason to make it hard and try and do it yourself.

The wake is specifically for you to go and view the body of the person who has passed on. The funeral's purpose is to celebrate the person's life and to lay them to rest.

Being asked to help carry the coffin

Willy thought that it was important to have lots of friends, but he has few friends in the end.

Yes, but most Jewish cemeteries don't allow cremation, since Torah-law calls for burial.
