You may think that wearing a dark suit or a somber black dress to a funeral is the only required custom that won't make you stand out from the crowd - or insult the other mourners. Wrong. There's a lot more to funeral etiquette than just wearing the right clothes. Knowing what to do - and what not to do - can help prevent offense on the day, and spare you lasting embarrassment in future. Jesus died on The Cross for You, The Pastor Said. And Einstein told us all to question authority, so, I asked; Why which turned out to be the biggest mistake I made all week. Let me tell you what happened next. The pastor went on to tell me how Jesus Christ died on the cross for me, and my sins. He said I was a sinner, and an imperfect human being, and Jesus Christ was the son of God, his only begotten son. Death is a mystery. More mysterious is the question where do the dead go? Is there a life after death? What do us, living humans know about death? Is there such a place where life goes on after death in a totally different realm? Death is the end of a physical, material existence. There is a popular belief that at death, the dying person sees a playback of his /her life - success, failure, mistakes, relationships, a total sum of what their life was all about. Don't spend all your energy organizing the funeral without taking time out for just you - to mourn, to grieve. Keeping yourself busy may be helping, but waiting until after the service isn't the answer either. In order to truly understand the struggle behind the death penalty, we have to investigate where we draw the lines. One person can only kill another person is in the case of self defense. This is generally acceptable. Of course a person could simply claim that, and if they covered their tracks good enough than we can live with that. Does not matter if it turns out that it was murder, as long as we don't know it than it is alright. Again, we have another instance in life that is more about how we feel about it than the actual act itself. So, in a sense it is not the act of killing that bothers us, but how it affects our delicate sense of being. Perhaps there is no other time in our lives when our guardian angels are more active or needed than at the moment of our earthly demise. death, the event we always cloak in a shroud of mystery, and fear, eventually comes to all of us. Hiding from it, never speaking about it, or being ignorant of it, does not help us at all. Memorial gifts. While flowers and donations are the two most common memorial gifts, others include statues in honor of the deceased, jewelry, urns, sundials, birdbaths (for the cemetery or garden) etc. Use your common sense to purchase something appropriate. The Gathering. This precious time was limited to family and closest friends. It was held in an informal setting arranged at the funeral home to share more stories and memories about Mom. It was a time of celebration for the special person she was to each of us. funeral program funeral program funeral program
