Funerals

Gina Lollobrigida"s family was in the furniture business. Coffins can be considered a form of furniture if of wooden construction, many are. Italians go for elaborate preparation of the deceased, particularily Ladies and make up, jewelry and so on are lovingly applied. The custom of Flowers in her Hair is also of Italian usage. This is alluded to in songs such as the Flower Girl in the Cowsills song who was evidentally a ghost.

He wants a living funeral so that all his friends and family can come and see him and express there feelings when he was alive not when he was dead!

Possibly Lilies, as this is considered to be a Germanic name ( Lilllian Nordica, for example the Opera star of the past) There is a whole range of what are called Todtblumen, a blend word meaning Death-flowers, that are used in Austria. may be regular floral treatments with Black edging for mortuary application, Gothic lettering, etc.

Sure, many are primarily interested in last respects and viewing of the body- not possibly weather-racked interment ceremony at the cemetery. visiting hours for funerals are always posted in the Newspapers, the traditional hours in Jersey City used to be 2-4 and 7-9 sometimes 2-5-7-9. The second show was always 7-9. You might use the song ( dey Doo Ron Ron as a memory device).

"I wish my family wouldn't quarrel all the time."

"Why do you quarrel so much with your sister?"

"I absolutely hate it when my parents quarrel, as I am the one who has to sort it out."

"The quarrel between cattlemen and farmers erupted into a full-scale range war."

Funeral programs aren't a necessity for all funeral or memorial services, of course, but there are many reasons why its desirable to do so. If the service is a religious one, it can serve as a form of instruction, helping people who are unfamiliar with the order of service to find their way easily and comfortably through the service. it could also include the words for song or hymns, prayers, and readings. If the service is a secular, non-religious one, it will inform people of the flow and order of service, who will be presenting, sharing or delivering the obituary, and what the title of music and lyrics will be played. For more complicated services, funeral programs are a necessity. For example, if a funeral service were to take place on a boat, the funeral program could explain how the ashes would be scattered, by whom, locations of the boat's destination points and order in which they will arrive. It helps keep the attendees informed and notified of the events. Funeral programs can also be an extension of the memorial service in which you can include a written poem or reading from a family member of friend. You can also include a special written work by the deceased. Essentially, the funeral program can include anything you would like to share with attendees that highlight the deceased or look more closely into his or her life. Remember that it is a celebration of their life, their accomplishments, and the people they have touched. Sometimes, funeral programs can contain more information or photos and can be put together in booklet format. There truly are no bounds in creating funeral programs. You can make it as elaborate as you'd like depending on how much time and assistance you may have to devote to the project.

you normally only do this when the person who died was part of the armed forces. It is supposed to be an honor.

• Often there are teas after a funeral more than there are dinners and there is no need to send a Thank You note. The person who has had the dinner of their loved passing is doing so to thank the family and friends for attending the funeral and honoring their loved one.

It depends on what state you live in. You might try going to the welfare office, or even to the court house. check for free legal advice around. I know you don't need a lawyer, but they might know where to help you look.

Her wish was to have no funeral or service. She wanted to leave this earth with no fan fare, the same as she arrived RIP

The funeral of Mr. C.N. Annadurai, the charismatic Chief Minister of the southern Indian state of Tamilnadu, in 1969 attracted the largest crowd in the history of the world, for a funeral.

In the ground

The estate pays for the funeral. It is typically one of the first clauses in the will. If someone signed for the funeral costs, they can be held liable if the estate fails to cover the costs.

It was probably a commissioned work-maybe for the French Army- who would have , of course a need for a martial funeral dirge- quite distinct from the l-2-3- trumpet practice of Taps, no disrespect implied. That"s a logical angle-what with a need for some formal march at state funerals-where the hearse was going a considerable distance from the Funeral parlor ( Salon, in French) to the cemetery. My guess some (Political) assignment- like those imposed on the Poets Laureate of England- e.g. write a poem on a certain battle, etc ( as was the task of Lord Tennyson).

Normally no, however in ancient Egypt the mummification process required removal of the organs (which were placed in separate canopic jars) but not the bones.

In modern times if a person (and the family agree) has indicated that they wish their organs/bones to be donated to others, then these can be removed before burial.

Normally however dead people are buried or cremated intact.

If you are the bereaved, just say thank you when they come to offer their condolences. If they sign a visitors registry, you can ask a relative or friend to send Thank You notes, just something simple , like " Thank You for attending the service at the passing of our beloved [husband , wife , mother etc. ].

. I have been searching on line for statistics concerning the income of a funeral director and I cannot find any published statistics for the UK. For the United States, the median income of funeral directors is around $49,000 per year.
