You can, but you would probably get your @ss kicked in the parking lot if you did because nobody does, at least not in the Ojibwe nation.

I think this should answer any questions about Lanyard wear.... Most of the Canadian Military has abandoned the Lanyard in their every day Duty Wear. It's mostly reserved for dress occasions. But here's a website with pictures and brief descriptions....

Nowadays, we think of a funeral as a sombre affair, because someone has died. Back then, the Greeks treated it as an exciting event.

I meant to write this which genders would do that more like females would do that more than males or more males do that than females.

Yes, you can be refused into a funeral. If you stayed it would be very disrespectful!

The family of the deceased may request a person not be permitted to attend the services. The funeral home security staff may ask such individuals to leave the premises. Protestors (such as Pastor Fred Phelps) typically are not allowed to picket on the same side of the street where funeral services are held, but unless there is a restraining order they generally cannot be moved further than that. It is possible the police could be called to arrest someone for disturbing the peace if the issue was pressed.

Yes, it was.

Gospel singer Willie Neal Johnson died in 2001 from a strole. His funeral was held in Tyler, TX

Among others, Dowager Queen Sophia of Sweden ( died l9l3-l4 on or near New Years), Actresses Mae West ( gown from Sextette) and much younger Suzanne Ball, the former Empress Carlotta of Mexico, to name a few. Matched and dispatched in the same Gown! One can make a borderline case for Judy Garland as she was laid out in the grey chiffon gown which was her fifth marital get-up, but this is not a wedding gown in the traditional, Bridal sense.

Yes. it is given to the next of kin.

There can be. There is no Biblical prohibition against this, but ususally a day is selected that is most easily attended by friends and family, especially those who have to work or travel some distance. That day often is Saturday.

What is the origin of the 21-gun salute? The use of gun salutes for military occasions is traced to early warriors who demonstrated their peaceful intentions by placing their weapons in a position that rendered them ineffective. Apparently this custom was universal, with the specific act varying with time and place, depending on the weapons being used. A North African tribe, for example, trailed the points of their spears on the ground to indicate that they did not mean to be hostile. The tradition of rendering a salute by cannon originated in the 14th century as firearms and cannons came into use. Since these early devices contained only one projectile, discharging them once rendered them ineffective. Originally warships fired seven-gun salutes--the number seven probably selected because of its astrological and Biblical significance. Seven planets had been identified and the phases of the moon changed every seven days. The Bible states that God rested on the seventh day after Creation, that every seventh year was sabbatical and that the seven times seventh year ushered in the Jubilee year. Land batteries, having a greater supply of gunpowder, were able to fire three guns for every shot fired afloat, hence the salute by shore batteries was 21 guns. The multiple of three probably was chosen because of the mystical significance of the number three in many ancient civilizations. Early gunpowder, composed mainly of sodium nitrate, spoiled easily at sea, but could be kept cooler and drier in land magazines. When potassium nitrate improved the quality of gunpowder, ships at sea adopted the salute of 21 guns. The 21-gun salute became the highest honor a nation rendered. Varying customs among the maritime powers led to confusion in saluting and return of salutes. Great Britain, the world's preeminent seapower in the 18th and 19th centuries, compelled weaker nations to salute first, and for a time monarchies received more guns than did republics. Eventually, by agreement, the international salute was established at 21 guns, although the United States did not agree on this procedure until August 1875. The gun salute system of the United States has changed considerably over the years. In 1810, the "national salute" was defined by the War Department as equal to the number of states in the Union--at that time 17. This salute was fired by all U.S. military installations at 1:00 p.m. (later at noon) on Independence Day. The President also received a salute equal to the number of states whenever he visited a military installation. In 1842, the Presidential salute was formally established at 21 guns. In 1890, regulations designated the "national salute" as 21 guns and redesignated the traditional Independence Day salute, the "Salute to the Union," equal to the number of states. Fifty guns are also fired on all military installations equipped to do so at the close of the day of the funeral of a President, ex-President, or President-elect. Today the national salute of 21 guns is fired in honor of a national flag, the sovereign or chief of state of a foreign nation, a member of a reigning royal family, and the President, ex-President and President-elect of the United States. It is also fired at noon of the day of the funeral of a President, ex-President, or President-elect. Gun salutes are also rendered to other military and civilian leaders of this and other nations. The number of guns is based on their protocol rank. These salutes are always in odd numbers. Source: Headquarters, Military District of Washington, FACT SHEET: GUN SALUTES, May 1969.

Folding the NC state flag first requires you to reverse the union. once the flag has been reversed begin folding as you would the U.S. flag. Once flag is folded and the end is tucked you should be able to see the date April 12th chances are you will not see the year 1779 on the flag.

The Vicar acts as God's vassal on Earth. Usually the Vicar will take care of the Eulogy (memorial speech) as well as helping to comfort those who are in attendance. The actual speech will usually vary from funeral to funeral as the Vicar sees what words may be the most helpful. Many also consider the Apostolic Blessing to be appropriate when one passes. It says

"Ego facultate mihi ab Apostolic Sede tributa, indulgatiam plenarium et remissionem omnium peccatorum tibi concedo et benedico te. In nomine Patris, et Filli, y et Spiritu Sancti. Amen"

Which translates,

"By the faculty which the Apostolic See has given me, I grant you a plenary indulgence for the remission of all your sins, and bless you. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen."

He was ostracized due to his ridicule of Christianity.
