From a cultural perspective, describe at least three different death rituals

?For some it is a celebration of life; for others the funeral is a social event with a long service with the body on display and burial with a favorite possession.

?It may be a time of deep sorrow and weeping; for others, no public display of weeping or sorrow is expressed.

?Some will delay the death ritual until friends and family can travel long distances for the event. Others bury their dead within 24-48 hours of death.

?Some require people to wear white, others black.

?Some require someone to be with the deceased 24/7.

?Some bring food; others money; others send sympathy cards.
