Funeral
From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Funeral is an official ceremony of burying someone who has died. Most religions have their own style of funeral ceremony.
A funeral ceremony can be held in the house of the dead, a church, a temple or a public place. The family of the dead and friends come together, remember the dead, and console each other. If it is a religious ceremony, they say a prayer for the dead so that his or her soul may rest in peace. There are lots of different traditions that different religions use. There is a rumor that some people have bells over the grave so if they get buried alive they can ring it and they will get dug up. Sometimes at funerals the deads family or friends want to pray or say something nice about who died. When people buy stone gravestones it is probably because when the dead is buried they dont want bugs get through the coffin and eating at the dead. At Christian funeral the priest often says: "From earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust"
