As humans walk through life making friends and creative a host of different relationships rarely does the question of religion come up. For this reason every adult will find themselves attending a burial ceremony for a different religion at least once in their life. Rabbi funeral distinguish themselves from the pack with a few factors like flowers among others. Despite the differences, all regardless of faith must adhere to the traditions. The first is about appropriate dressing. Ladies must wear black dresses and men a coat and white shirt.
Some people usually attend the first session but then skip the whole graveside thing. This is fine as that is considered a private affair. However, if one is planning on attending the graveside session they should be in comfortable shoes. This is a directive especially for the ladies. Small talk is absolutely discouraged. If one does speak, they should do so in low hushed tones.
How distasteful is it to be late to a burial? It is disrespectful to both the family and the deceased. Why even show up at all if it will only breach the attention of other mourners. It is good manners to find out the exact times and venue the previous day. This will ensure one arrives early and on time for the ceremony without being rudely tardy.
The ceremony is not a get together. It is not a place where one can meet the boys and hang out. It is a somber occasion. While it may go unnoticed, one should endeavor to keep a straight face. There is something about seeing a person happily chatting away and being overly exuberant that just irks the mourning family. One should not speak unless spoken to or asked to speak. On that note, any speeches given should be kept PG. That is not the time to narrate that dirty story involving the deceased.
The director at the funeral home will constantly give directions regarding sitting arrangement and other such matters. One should listen to these and adhere without hesitation. This moves the day forward smoothly without constant reminders of the same thing. Do not sit on the chairs at the grave side session. Unless one is disabled or family, these chairs are off limits.
The Jewish faith does not believe in embalming. For this reason, burials are usually planned approximately three days after the death. This can be short notice especially with respect to getting time off work or getting a baby sitter. In this case, the Shiva will more than make up for the absence. This is a seven day period during which well-wishers can show up at the home and offer their condolences.
Some families will give a charity through which well-wishers can honor the deceased. This is preferred to sending flowers or leaving them at the grave. Flowers are frowned upon as they are seen as prettying up the stark reality.
As it is with all burials, one must be courteous. Help the old. Comfort anyone who is overcome by grief if they are close. Do not stare. Feel the pain and grieve but do not be obnoxious about it. Do not point out seemingly odd rituals. It could be fulfillment of a final wish.
