Why
Do We Have Funerals?
For thousands of years, funerals have been a means of expressing our
beliefs, thoughts, and feelings about the death of someone we love.
The Funeral Ceremony:
- Helps
us acknowledge that someone we love has died
- Allows
us to say goodbye
- Provides
a social support system for us and other friends and family
members
- Allows
us to search for the meaning of life and death
- Offers
continuity and hope for the living
Meaningful
funeral ceremonies are rites of passage. They help us move
from life before death to life after death. The funeral provides
us a safe place to express our feelings of loss.
