funeral ceremony

sonya111

I have a request.Could anyone tell me how does a funeral ceremony look like in Coptic church? Does the family go to bury the person afterwards?Is the funeral the same day after when the person dies?

Unknown

well from the funerals I have attended... There are prayers that are very deep and the priest and deacons pray them. The tune of the hymns are very mournful some of the hymns sung at a a funeral are sung during Pascha/Holy week. The family does attend the burial...and wether they are buried the same day of death depends on the situation.

Anyone correct me if i said something wrong

Pray for me
