Different cultures have different funeral customs. Here are some different types of funerals that occur around the world:
- India. The deceased is cleansed and dressed in preparation for cremation. Sacred objects are then passed around in a counterclockwise direction to symbolize that everything is backwards at the time of death,
- Tibet. Since there is a limited amount of land, Tibetans have a sky burial. This is where the body is carried by a friend to a burial site to be devoured by vultures.
- Madagascar. They view the funeral as a celebration and will dance at the gravesite.
As you can see, many cultures have different views on death. If you are in need of international funeral shipping, contact Bergen Funeral Service Inc.
