Funerals are ceremonies to remember and sanctify the life of any dead person. The word “funeral” is derived from the Latin word “funus” which means corpse and funerary rights themselves. The origin of funeral rites dates back to the time of origin of the human culture. During funeral, the body of the decent is buried or cremated and people pay homage to the corpse of the departed soul. In the words of Irvin S. Cobb, “A funeral eulogy is a belated plea for the defence delivered after the evidence is all in.”
Funerals are carried out in different ways, based on the religion of the deceased person. Some people call wedding a funeral in which you smell your own flowers. Ella R. Bloor, “I shall never forget the despair and agony on the parents' faces on the awful day of the funeral when the 13 little children, victims not only of John D. Rockefeller, but of the government of the state of Colorado were buried.”
