Funeral Traditions And Rituals
Thursday, March 11th, 2010
Funerals throughout the world are performed by following several customs, rites and rituals. It is at the funerals that the near and dear ones make peace with the fate and pray for the deceased’s soul.
Christian funerals adhere to the rites of the Church. However, there are more than 200 different factions of Christianity that have their own different customs and rituals relating to the funeral ceremony.
An important ritual of a Christian funeral, known as wake, is the first and foremost ritual that is carried out before the actual funeral and involves a nightly watch over the dead person and recital of Biblical psalms for the eternal peace of his soul. According to the present day rituals, this is when the family and acquaintances pay a last visit to the deceased and offer their final respects. The body is either laid at the house or at Church and the time of paying visit is fixed according to prescribed norms. In the past, the stage following the wake used to be that of absolution, where a cross was put on the deceased’s body and offertory, which held the presents given by visitors, and the person was ritually absolved of the sins committed during his earthly tenure.
The following stage is the real ceremony itself in which the deceased is put into a coach and brought to the Church, where the priests and others recite prayers and hymns from the Bible. Then, the priest requests a friend or family member to give a public eulogy in honour of the deceased. Some of the Christian communities follow this by a custom of ringing of the bells, marking the end of the service. After the funeral service, the casket is taken to the burial place where a burial service is held before the act of burial.
Lastly, funeral traditions require a lunch gathering to be organized after the burial service. The prime objective of this custom is to share the sorrow of the bereaved family and help them cope with the irreparable loss.
