Funeral Social Gatherings

The aspects of an Amish funeral service are steeped in customs that vary largely from that of an English funeral. Though the ideals and customs of an English funeral service change with the new trends of the region. While the Amish funeral service has changed very little from the Amish deviation from the Quakers.

These sacred teachings are known to very few members of the church; generally, by the bishops, or by the Amish funeral director. The funeral, as seen from the English perspective, is a celebration of life or the mourning of a life; while, the funeral seen from an Amish perspective, is a celebration of the gift of God.

Mankind’s history of burial practices and funeral customs are as old as civilization itself. There is no specific way to planning a funeral.

Many slaves wanted the north to win and lick the southerners. They wanted to be free from the camps but they didn't want the northerners to wipe them out to. They were afraid that they would all die but they still wanted to be free. “I remember the yankees dying I felt sorrow(Civil War I: Slaves).”

There were very little respect for the dead. The few left to bury the dead dumped the bodies in mass graves, in the rivers, and burned them in great piles. Proper burial rites could not be done for hundreds at a time. Most graves were more like lasagnas since people and dirt were just layered.

Ambition is a human trait to have extreme determination to complete your goals. Every ambitious person is affected differently: some might have the goal to be rich, while another’s ambition leads them to run a marathon.
