Making plans for funerals is not something unique to the United States or western cultures. There has always been rites and ways to celebrate and honour the passage of life into death. They have around as long as humans have been in existence. Most of the funeral rites are rooted in various regions. International funeral customs that still exist today have become a means of unique celebrations for various countries and cultures.
Whereas most funeral plans are different depending on individual cultures, no strict universal demands for funerals are around. Differing rites, when observed, vary with international localities. In China, how big the number of people in attendance apparently determines the luck levels a family will get. It is a representation of how well the deceased shall prosper in the afterlife. Professionally hired groups of mourners come to funerals to add the attendance numbers as a result.
Where Philippines is concerned, funeral rites honouring the deceased take between three and seven days. Many people come for the ceremony and stay for entire ceremony. For the Haitians, the deceased family members have the sole responsibility for the large part of the planning of the funeral. This covers preparing and dressing the deceased in preparation for the burial. Expressions and displays of grief remain suppressed until all possessions the deceased owned leave their home.
In Amish community based funerals, everybody in the town shares everything about the event. The families are responsibility for particular choices as far as traditional funeral plans are concerned and which take place in a funeral home. Simplicity is the theme of focus and a simple wooden box is used. There is very little cosmetic work on a deceased body. Ornate stones, flowers and such things as mourning codes remain at a bare minimum.
Within the Thai community, cremation is almost universal. Customs include preparing a body for the rites with members of the family placing coins onto a deceased mouth. A white thread ties hands and feet of a deceased. Flowers, money and candles go into the hands. Additional flowers and monetary gifts adorn a deceased pyre as it goes into cremations.
Bolivians observe traditional funeral codes seen nowhere else worldwide. These include performing special and separate burial rites for the deceased clothes. Such rites, according to Bolivians, assist in releasing the soul of those departed into the after-world.
In most cases, funeral rites observed internationally are merely extensions of plans most people know about. There also exists a collective reverence for deceased as well as close attention personal items they left behind. The ceremony gives friends and families an opportunity to get together as they mourn despite where everyone shall be respectively traveling.
The incorporation of traditional as well as religious rites offers people a means to personalize plans for funerals. In most instances, the ceremony is a means to assent to the wishes and beliefs of a departed. In a bid to adhere to time honoured practices or rites, people often leave instructions about the manner their families shall handle their funerals. Many people place such instructions in their written wills.
