Cultural wishes
(Muslim Funeral, 2007)
Religious rituals for the dead are always a communal event(Leming & Dickinson, 2011). Dying is more than a biological process, they die in a social surroundings where feelings are present. Customs morn differently, and it is important to get a good background on the wishes. If you need a rough reminder on your cultures death ritual ceremony, take a look at our website. This has information about some major religions such as Jewish, Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islamic.
