Funeral Customs

Funeral rites are as old as human culture itself, predating modern Homo sapiens, to at least 300,000 years ago. A funeral is simply a ceremony for celebrating, respecting, sanctifying, or remembering the life of a person who has died. The word funeral comes from the Latin funus, which had a variety of meanings.
