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?

    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
