Funeral Ritual

What are Funeral Rituals?  They are symbolic activities that help us express our deepest thoughts and feelings about life's important events such as death/funerals. The Funeral ritual is a public, traditional and symbolic means that express an individuals thoughts, beliefs, and feelings about the death of a loved one.
The funeral can help us acknowledge the reality of death and it gives testimony to the life of the person who is now deceased. It also encourages the expression of grief  and provides support those who are mourning the loss of the deceased.
