Funerals

As long as you feel you need to, or as long as you are actively mourning the loss of a loved one.

Obviously anything akin to Joy-Happy Christmas Carols would be out of tone. I would imagine circumstances have to be considered- back around the 9ll memorial services, the music-directors carefully avoided the traditional National Anthem- which does describe an artillery-rocket bombardment ( Rocket" red Glare- the Bombs bursting in Air!) as a little too close to home ( they used America the Beautiful instead) there are all kinds of rules, and exceptions to them, as with, paradoxically, Wedding music where secular songs are often allowed ( but certainly not anything like Runaround Sue or ( You cheated, You Lied, you said that loved me!)

The insurance funds and estate assets should cover the funeral expenses. You need to contact attorney who is probating the will to insure you are reimbursed for your expenses. You can make a claim against the estate just as long as you have all receipts to make it legal! * It would appear that the deceased's estate has already been probated or assets and property that were distributed were those that were exempt from probate procedure, either via a Will or probate succession laws. If that is the case, the only option for recovering monies spent for funeral and other costs would be for the injured party to bring suit against those adult family members who would have been involved. If the estate has not been closed by probate procedure it may be possible to make a claim, the deciding factor is the time that has expired between the filing of the estate and the filing of the claim of money owed. Be advised, the law does not require surviving children or family members to pay funeral expenses. The executor of the estate should have been responsible for the matter unless another family member volunteered to take the responsibility. It is an arbitrary choice, and if an agreement was not made with other individuals to share the expenses, then the plaintiff in a suit is not likely to prevail.

probably,yes, no????????

No, non-Jews are not counted as part of a minyan for any service. Depending on denomination, Jewish women might not be counted either.

The person is a Funeral Director. Other possible titles are mortician, or undertaker.

yes have the funeral before u die & maybe a bit of a party to see

yourself off oh yes & you drink to yourself too.

Yes, but the Queen Mother died some years ago, so is not the current Queen Mum. Elizabeth II has been for 60 years a Regnant ( ruling) Queen, as distinguished from a Queen Mother or a Queen Consort. Queen Mary of ocean Liner fame was a Queen Consort, so it is incorrect, though people do it, to style her as (Queen Mary III). Mary died on 3.25.53 .

* NOTE: Before soliciting at work, check with a supervisor / boss first for permission.

First, begin to spread the word and why your friends or co-workers might care. For example: "Did you hear? Cathy's father died. Yeah, it's heartbreaking because her mom isn't well and George had a stroke. I'm collecting money for a donation to Cathy for flowers, or funeral expenses, or whatever she needs it for. Can you contribute with us?"

Second, you could put a can on your desk, with "Donation" marked on it. Take it around with you on breaks and lunch to ask more people.

Third, don't forget your Supervisors and bosses. The Owner of a company might decide to donate "on behalf of the company."

Hinduism is among many religions that afford adaptability and the freedom of choice and religious expression. Furthermore, Hinduism has a history of adopting the ideas of other faiths. Cards are and have been used to express sympathy, and flowers are commonly used in last rites.

Choose a Sympathy card with a verse that basically expresses how you feel. When you sign the bottom of the card tell them that you are there should they ever need to talk.

If you are positive, or have suspicions, that a funeral home does not have a license you should immediately contact your local municipal licensing agency, as well as your state board of morticians.

There will be not formal further viewing of the body, which will be directly conveyed to the cemetery after the funeral mass- this case is closed, pun intended.

Yes it's a good gesture to wish her happy mother's day it creates good vibes even if you both move on

sorry for you loss. that says it all.

First of all it is Peter Tork. I have no idea. It should be understood the Monkees were essentially a comedy team masquerading as a rock group, not a real musical act. Most of the music was written by the songwriters Boyce and Hart ( not to be confused with Rogers and Hart) and also Neil Diamond. Look at the record labels. the Monkees were a fake! Even their unicycles had diminutive balance wheels!

In my experience as a funeral officiant, I have found that most funerals are done Mon-Fri. I have only done weekend services for memorial services where there is no body present.

The funerals CAN be done on a Saturday, if the funeral home is in agreement, but most are done during the week.

Funerals are held any day of the week. Funerals used to be held for up to two weeks. By the 1970s, a funeral averaged 4 days. Now, 2 days is more common, but the family can request anything from no viewing (zero days) to 4 days for viewing and a service. Many families choose no viewing and a graveside service so the funeral is over within a few hours.

Proper flag protocol dictates that whenever the flag is properly folded (not just military funerals) it is folded so that the Union (blue with white stars) is on the outside and showing.

There came a time when families no longer wanted to "Sit up" at the wake. This is a time when the family/friends would sit up all night long with the corpse before the funeral. A funeral home is a business that will remove the human remains from the place of death and prepare it as the family wishes, or as required by law. The funeral directors are the people that direct the family in the customs of funerals. A funeral director must be licensed by a state bar in most states, and must maintain education in order to renew their license each year in the United States. They must have a vast knowledge of all funeral customs, religious laws, and government laws concerning death. The director also assists the family with insurance paperwork, filing social security death notice, public announcements, and many more aspects of the death industry. A funeral director in many cases may also be an embalmer (a person who preserves, cleans, and prepares the body for burial), but does not have to be.

Yes and no. We don't have a ceremony tradition that we are required to adhere to, aside for that it must be done in a chapel. We have viewings, talks, and other things, but the way we treat the diseased is entirely up to us. Mormons are allowed to cremate a body, as well. Additional Information: There is no stipulation that Mormon funerals be held in a chapel. That is a strictly personal decision and left entirely up to the family. It is however, generally chosen, as it allows a large amount of friends and family to gather in a place that had significance either to the deceased or their family, or both. Mormons consider life a journey through mortality and death merely a stepping stone into the next stage of eternity. And of course, because Morman facilities do not charge their members for the use of the chapel, it makes an excellent place to hold the funeral at no charge, which can get excessive when using mortuary facilities. One tradition they do have is dressing the deceased in their white temple clothing if they held a temple recommend.

Yes, it is a nice gesture to send thank-you notes to guests who signed the guest book at a funeral. Thank-you notes should definitely be sent to those who sent cards, memorial donations, or flowers.
