Document Summary
Psychology of death and dying chapter 12 the funeral process. We respect the dead because : this also shows respect to the people who were close to them. It would violate social expectations if i did not show respect. It is difficult to go on without individual and communal lives until feelings and issues aroused by the death have been settled amicably. I hope that my physical remains will be treated with respect when the time comes. Common elements of the funeral process: premortem preparations. Instructions for cremation or burial, disposal of personal property, colleagues might have to prepare for replacing the coworker, debts will be paid, transfers of the property and rules of inheritance is enforced. Disposition of the body may also have to wait financial arrangements: a medical examiner may order an autopsy when there is a possibility of a danger to public health: the examination itself can vary.
