Answer 2

California, optimum time is 10:00 a.m., interment following at 11. Back to the home about 12:30-1:00 pm for lunch. Everyone leaves by about 2:30, and the family has time to recover without a full day of funeral preparations and stress.

Answer 3

The time of day varies on funerals there are many reasons why but there seems no set time. However most are in the afternoons that I think is a matter of convenience.

Answer 4

A funeral is a ceremony marking a person's death. Funerary customs comprise the complex of beliefs and practices used by a culture to remember the dead, from the funeral itself, to various monuments, prayers, and rituals undertaken in their honor. These customs vary widely between cultures, and between religious affiliations within cultures. In some cultures the dead are venerated; this is commonly called ancestor worship. The word funeral comes from the Latin funus, which had a variety of meanings, including the corpse and the funerary rites themselves.

Funeral rites are as old as the human race itself.[citation needed] In the Shanidar cave in Iraq, Neanderthal skeletons have been discovered with a characteristic layer of pollen, which suggests that Neanderthals buried the dead with gifts of flowers. This has been interpreted as suggesting that Neanderthals believed in an afterlife, and in any case were aware of their own mortality and were capable of morning.
The Catholic Funeral Mass was called the Requiem Mass - coming from the first line of the Introit used in such Masses: Réquiem, ætérnam dona eis, Dómine; ex lux perpétua lúceat eis. (Eternal rest give to them, O Lord; and let perpetual light shine upon them). Such Masses had a number of differences from other Masses, mainly taking a solemn character. There was much more of a focus on the sinful nature of humanity and the judgment that came at the end of a life. The priest was vested in the liturgical color black, the burning of incense at the Introit and Gospel were omitted, as was the psalm Judica me Deus and the kiss of peace. If a deacon was present to chant the Gospel, the acolytes bearing candles were not used in the Funeral Mass. Additionally no blessing was given. The sequence Dies Iræ, or Day of Wrath was included in the Mass - which spoke of the upcoming ending of the world and the judgment that followed.

The bier holding the body was positioned in the middle of the church. If the decedent was a member of the laity their feet would face the altar. If the decedent was a member of the clergy the body the head would face the altar.

After the Second Vatican Council, a number of the rites associated with a funeral were changed in keeping with the directives of the Concil to reform the liturgy. The Consilium for the Implementation of the Constitution on the Liturgy removed those texts which they felt overemphasized judgment, fear, and despair - feeling that the Funeral Mass should urge hope and faith in the resurrection. [3]

The modern funeral Mass, or Mass of Christian Burial focuses on the fact that rather than ending that life has changed. Instead of the black vestments of previous years, the priest is instead vested in white, and texts such as Dies Iræ are no longer used in funeral Masses. The Mass consists of the reception of the body at the church, liturgies of the word and Eucharist, and final committal.



The corpse is washed (bathed): The main factor in this step is to physically cleanse the corpse. The method, the style and the accessories used for bathing the corpse may vary from time to time and from place to place. Bathing a corpse, in whatever method, is a part of the Sunnah of the Islamic prophet Muhammad[6], and therefore a part of the Islamic Shari`ah.
The corpse is wrapped in a simple plain cloth. The cloth is called 'kafan' and the process 'takfeen'. The main factor in this step is to respectfully wrap the corpse in a cloth so that its private parts are not visible to others. The style of this wrapping and the material and the color of the cloth used for this wrapping may vary from place to place and from time to time. However, the important aspect in the style of wrapping and the material used is that it should be a simple rather than a gaudy style and the cloth used for this purpose should also not be very flashy. It is for this reason that Muslims have generally preferred to use white cotton cloth to serve as 'kafan'. It is allowed to put some perfume on the cloth.
