Funerals

Brutus's purpose was to control the crowd as was Anthony's. Brutus began his speech with a hostile crowd against him as a murderer of the popular Julius Caesar.

No because they are not worthy and canada north America has the same women's rights as in Iraq

you can if you want but you don't have to, as they have already or will charge for their services.

Catholics do. I'd image most do

• It would be more appropriate if you sent flowers to the home or funeral from you and staff or both unless otherwise specified in the obituary of the newspaper. Some people ask that donations be made to a certain charity.

is ther federal aid for low income people to pay for funeral and burial expenses?

You would make your wishes known to the funeral director when you meet to set up the arrangements for the funeral.

Flowers sent to the wake are normally displayed at the funeral as well. Only one arrangement is needed.

There are a few famous funeral dirges. "Funeral March" by Chopin is the one commonly heard on cartoons. A number of funeral marches are heard in Purcell's "Funeral Music for Queen Mary." Handel's "Dead March" is also used a lot at funerals. Thomas Attwood wrote a march titled "Dirge" for Admiral Nelson's funeral.

I hope one of these is the one you're looking for. You can hear samples of all of these at Amazon, CD Universe, etc.

First the family, friends and interested party's meet either at the church or other venue. Here the family and friends say a few words about the the deceased and say a final goodbye. A priest or minister then initiates a small religious service relating to the passing of people from the physical plane. With this done the coffin that has been the centre of the ceremony is closed in the case of an open coffin funeral. and is carried to a hearse which takes it to a cemetery At the cemetery another small service is led by the priest after which the coffin is lowered into the grave. In the case of cremations this final ceremony is usually held at the crematorium and at the end of the service the coffin slides behind a curtain to be cremated. In most cases after all this has been done a further get together happens at the home of the deceased or if that is not possible a the home of a friend. Some of the Irish have what is known as a wake where every one is expected to have a good time at the party that is held at the end of the funeral.

1) The coffin is at the back of the church. The priest reads a few verses:
"I am the Resurrection and the life."
"God so loved the world that He gave His only son, so that all who believe in Him may have eternal life."
-This reminds mourners that the person is going to Heaven.

2) The coffin is blessed with Holy water and covered with a white cloth, a Bible and crucifix are placed on top along with any souvenirs of the person.
-This shows how the person has been baptised and died with faith in Christ.

3) The service continues with a Liturgy of the Word (Bible readings). Popular readings include Psalm 23.
-This gives a peaceful image of heaven and mourners are comforted by the words "You are at my side."

4) Sermon - The Priest explains the readings
-The priest will comfort the mourners by emphasising heaven.

5) Prayers - Are said throughout the service.
-Catholics pray for the person who has died, so they spend less time in Purgatory. Others may pray for special intentions.

6) Hymns - Are sung throughout the service.
-This lifts mourners spirits.

7) Eulogy - This is a speech made by a family member or friend, the person making the speech will often try to add jokes to cheer mourners up.
-This looks back and celebrates the person's life.

8) Burial/Cremation - the priest will say more prayers asking for God's mercy saying, " From dust you came and to dust you shall return."

9) The Wake - is when the family and friends get together in a party of sorts and share memories of the person's life.
-This is a chance to show sympathy and support.

From what is known they were used to contain cremains- cremated ashes of the deceased, most common among Greeks. some, more solidly built, may have been used as incense-burners, not urns proper.

Black or red

The funerals are done at the cremation grounds provided in each village and town outside the dwellings.

I assume you mean SUN the solar star, and not SON. The only correlation I can think of was a somewhat morbid-romantic ( but not like some modern necro-songs) called (My One and Only You)- one of the concluding verses of this romantic song went- and it was banned in some areas- When we Leave this World, to Live Beyond the Sun.. then there is something about- a row of Flowers in her Hair- which keystones the funeral setting- they are not talking about some sort of Space Exploration. This sort of ties in with the idea that Heaven is a real planet much like Earth but no crime, disease , etc. it is invisible to earthlings as it is beyond the Sun, which blocks any viewing. This is ( both ideas) are Italian in origin as is the Flowers in her hair custom.

I would think that you would have to dig a very large tunnel. Being that the corpse is buried...

Many do. no law or custom against it. Wakes are arguably more popular as they are at the funeral parlor and not in the church or out of doors at the cemetery.- hence weather problems minimized.

Only donations to a qualifed 501c charity are tax deductible if that's what you mean, regardless of what they are for. No others get any tax preference.

No, it's a religious music.

But it is frequently used as a wedding and funeral anthem; in the wedding it reminds the bride of her purity and beseeches Our Lady to watch over the couple in their life together, and in the funeral the anthem brings to Our Lady's attention that one whom she watched over in life now lies here in death, and beseeches that she follow the soul to its final resting place, trusting that she will bring it to peace.

It's possible. I assume you mean limousine sedan types- not hearses.

• Choose a religious Thank You card that has a nice verse and address it to 'Pastor and petitioners' or 'Pastor and friends of the congregation.'

This is wholly a matter of personal or cultural preference. Provided you have made your presence known and expressed appropriately your condolences, the bereaved family would should not have any out of ordinary expectations for you to attend both.

I guess the deceased.

Different churches have different polities and policies. it is mainly in the interest of Traffic Control that Funerals are ordinarily not Held on sundays, this would disrupt the main flow of ecclesiastical traffic- the Sunday Masses. Likewise, weddings are prohibited from the Sunday stream ( Usually on Saturday afternoons in my church) for traffic control reasons. They ( weddings) are also usually not done in or around major Church Holidays for again, traffic reasons. so it goes, use the Dead Man"s clutch in all cases here. Never On Sunday!
