The funerary culture of the ancient Egyptians show some of the earliest work in regards to the care of the deceased.

The last time I saw my father was when the pallbearers closed his casket. He looked so peaceful with his hands crossed at his chest, dressed in a suit, pain free. My grief was just beginning, knowing I would never see my dad again. At twelve, losing a parent was something I would have never imagined would happen to me. He died of stage four liver cancer.

Burial Rituals of Native American Culture At some point in our lives, we all come to realize that death is a part of life. Cultural diversity provides a wide variety of lifestyles and traditions for each of the unique groups of people in our world. Within these different cultures, the rituals associated with death and burial can also be uniquely diverse. Many consider ritualistic traditions that differ from their own to be somewhat strange and often perceive them as unnatural. A prime example

My ex-boyfriend’s eyes were always his tell. He was a 6’ tall, 250 pound hulk of a wrestler who always stuffed his feelings down underneath years of abuse. He had the shell of a rhino, but if you could get close enough, there was no armor to shield his eyes. I could see when he was proud or excited, I would know when he was mad or disappointed, they would tell me to run or come closer.

Communist Cuba. With the several mentions of Mexico, they hardly touch base on Canada’s relations. They had maintained continuous relations since the eighteenth century. Many prime ministers had close relationships with Fidel Castro; he even served as a pallbearer for Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau’s

King of the Midwest The longest rivalry in the NFL is between the Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers. It all started in 1921 at Wrigley Field when the Chicago Bears (then named the Staleys) beat the Green Bay Packers 20-0. After the game Bear’s player John (Tarzan) Taylor threw a sucker punch at Packer’s Howard (Cub) Buck, and broke his nose, the rivalry was on from there. When the Green Bay Packer’s first beat the Chicago Bears in 1925, a Chicago player went after Buck’s nose again, but

to reminisce of the times I told funny jokes or did some embarrassingly funny things just for laughs. I would want them to know that everything is fine, and to accept that I’m gone but always watching over them and with them in their hearts. My pallbearers would be my brother, his son, my son, and my wrestling brothers Tim, Jeff, and Austin. The location of the funeral would be at Resthaven Memorial Park (4400 Bardstown Rd, Louisville, KY 40218-3255), with the burial site being at the St. Edward Cemetery

Shinto refers to the Japanese religion with various and sectarian spiritual beliefs, ceremonial practices, customs. In early Japanese history, Shinto has been thoroughly affected by Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism (Bernard, n.d.).

A solemn procession began. Six chosen soldiers acted as pallbearers carrying the body of our hero, shoulder-high. The sight of the flag-draped casket with the blue field of white stars covering Shogun’s head was eerie. Contrary to tradition, we placed his beret, on the flag. The somber procession slowly made their way towards a waiting C-130. Beyond all doubt, it was the gloomiest event imaginable. I couldn’t see for the tears in my eyes as I walked immediately behind the coffin. We passed a long
