Beliefs about death in different cultures Death,
indeed, is a harsh reality of life. A sad or an
unpleasant occasion is what death is commonly
considered, due to the affection for the
deceased. For Christians, a funeral service is a
way of saying thank-you to God for the dead
person and to celebrate their life, as well as
saying goodbye. The funeral may take place at a
church, or there is a chapel at the crematorium
or cemetery where a ceremony or religious service
can be held instead. It is common for people to
wear dark colours to funerals as a sign of their
sadness. Sometimes Christians ask people to wear
bright colours, to show that even though they are
sad, they are happy that their loved one is now
in heaven. The service will usually include a
time when friends and relatives can talk about
the person who died, remembering happy times and
all the good things that they did. Unlike Sikh
funerals, people are buried in Christian
funerals. Some Christians believe in the
Resurrection, that after death the body stays in
the grave till the Day of Judgment. When everyone
will be raised from the dead and be judged by
God. As such they want to lead good lives so they
can get to heaven. Christians believe that God
is just and fair, and so cannot let evil go
unpunished. Most believe in the idea of judgment
after death, and that God will treat people in
the afterlife according to how they lived their
life on earth. Tamil tradition requires people to
avoid saying that a person is dead. Instead, the
person is said to have reached the world of Lord
Shiva, to have attained a position in heaven, or
to have reached the world of the dead. Tamil
cremate or bury the dead, with burial being more
common among lower castes. The body is prepared
for the funeral by being washed, perfumed, and
dressed in new clothes. Families observe the
anniversary of a death by gathering together,
giving gifts to priests, and feeding the poor.
Generally in Hindu Funerals the dead are
cremated. Sometimes the deceased resides in a
city away from home or is not in town at that
particular time .In such cases one needs to opt
for funeral transportation, which is an
additional service. Of course, if you reside in
another nation then funeral transportation might
seem a bit expensive. It is important that the
body is back to the family members right on
time. The cost of shipping of a body is based on
the weight of the shipment and the distance from
the place of origin to the destination. The fee
for forwarding remains to another funeral home
and the fee for receiving remains from another
funeral home are high. You will likely have to
pay both of these fees, in addition to any other
funeral home costs and you will have to pay for
the cost of the funeral homes for the
coordination of the shipping and the shipping
container.

SUMMARY The funeral generally includes a ritual
through which the corpse of the deceased is given
up. Depending on culture and religion, these can
involve either the destruction of the body (for
