Your presence is something that you can give to show and express your condolences to the bereaved family. However, there are important things to give consideration to when attending a funeral service. If you are planning to attend one, you may want to know what your responsibilities are as a friend or as a visitor. The main purpose of your attendance is to give support and to condole with the grieving family. However, knowing how to properly present yourself and act in the funerals may help lighten up the unbearable pain that the family and friends feel. Here are some of the funeral etiquettes that you may want to follow:

  • Arrive Early

At least 10 or 20 minutes ahead of time, if you are attending the funeral service, make sure that you arrive early. By doing so, you will have a few minutes to approach the family and say your condolences and interact with other guests or people you know. Another advantage of arriving early is that you can find a seat where you can sit comfortably during the funeral service.

  • Dress Code

Proper dress code is an important matter to consider when attending a funeral. It is appropriate to wear formal attire, which includes a blouse and skirt or pants for women and formal shirts and pants for men. If you prefer wearing casual attire, make sure that you are not wearing sleeveless tops and a pair of shorts or miniskirts. Flat shoes and formal shoes are more appropriate for your feet.

Moreover, an informal funeral service may not require you to wear formal dress code but you have to be sure of it or else you will look awkward on this important but sad occasion.

  • Choose a Seat

Depending on your relationship with the immediate family, choosing a seat in the funeral is one of the things to consider as funeral etiquette is discussed. You should where to sit or else you will be pointed to a seat or spot at the back. Immediate family members are expected to take the front seats while relatives and closest friends may take the seats just behind the family. The family may reserve several rows for important guests. When you choose a seat, always take the empty seat close enough to show your respect.

  • Behave Courteously

To show respect to the deceased person and to the grieving family, your cellphone and other kinds of gadgets should be turned off or put on a silent mode so that no one will be disturbed once it rings. In addition, it is courteous to avoid checking on your phone from time to time to see if someone texted you.

Eating while the funeral service is ongoing is not proper, as well. It is best to wait for the service to end or wait for the family to serve you something to eat.

If you want to take pictures or if the family assigned you to take pictures of the said event, be courteous enough to consider what is in the background. It is unprofessional and inappropriate to catch someone deeply mourning and seriously grieving in your photographs and publish the pictures online.

  • Keep Children Quiet

Kids may tend to be noisy or bored in this kind of event. They may cry loud or ask for food, or they may talk loudly that will cause a distraction to others. If you are bringing a child or children to the funeral service, it is best to find a place where you can easily take them outside when necessary.

  • Control Your Emotions

It is normal to feel emotional, especially if the deceased person is someone important. If you know that you are the type of person who cannot easily control your crying it is best to step out of the room and compose yourself. You may choose to go back to the funeral when you are calmed and relaxed.

  • Respect Traditional Rituals

If the family practice traditional funeral rituals that you do not agree with practicing with, it is most appropriate to stay in the back area or backseat and let the family finish their rituals. Moreover, if you are aware that the family belongs to a religious group or tribe that follows and practice certain traditional rituals, make sure that you know the basic of it to avoid the experience of culture shock.

  • Guestbook Signing

If the guestbook or registry is available, be sure to write your name on it or sign it before you leave. This will help the family know who attended the funeral. If the family allows sympathy messages, make sure to write a brief message and avoid long ones.

  • Etiquette at the Graveside

If it is the burial you are attending, proper etiquette should also be observed. As you approach the graveside, try to avoid stepping on the graves and tombstones. If there are chairs in the graveside, always expect that they are intended for the immediate family and relatives. It is best to find a spot at the back where you can stand quietly.

Funerals are one of the important events that require your best behavior and etiquette. When you observe it, you are not only showing respect to the bereaved family but also to the deceased person. You can express your sincerest condolences and sympathy to the family when you behave properly at the funeral and avoid creating any untoward incidences that may add stress to the family.

Bigger than yours How did he judge Gao Qin was also made to smile bitterly, Young man, lift up your clothes and let me take a look.When Du Heng suddenly heard Li Jianwei s compliment, he really couldn t turn around for a moment.

Although his illness is severe, he may not be dead.However, when Li Jianwei saw Du Heng, he also had a straight face and didn t give Du Heng a good look, as if Du Heng owed him money and hadn t paid him back.

Dr. Yang The doctor who was chatting with him was surprised by his sudden silence, Dr.At the critical moment, no one could be found. At this time, someone shouted, Don t be dumbfounded.

Do. Therefore, he would not refute Du Heng s kindness, so he walked down the steps and said, Okay, let s go back to the office and think about it.He couldn t figure out how Du Heng s treatment could actually make the patient s brain free of blood stasis.

As soon as he entered the door, Du Heng frowned, You will give the patient or the patient s family a sense of urgency by running so fast.Xian, Xian s balls hurt. Empty, basically every ward in every department is empty, and people who are empty feel panicked.

I also went to give my brother in law a review by the way.But this scene made Wu Shengnan who was following along dumbfounded.

Che, a doctor who is famous in the education field is also a big news.It was neither busy nor relaxing, and patients came in and out in waves steadily.

Hearing this topic, Du Heng was really nervous, but he quickly adjusted his mentality and said with a smile, I told Nan Nan that we have this plan.It is best that we can officially start work next week.

He deserves it. It s just that he has to bear this pain now.Du Heng sat down next to Wang Shuqiu Next to her mother, she only glanced back, her eyes still as empty as before.

The blood rushed to his head. Without saying a word, he grabbed Liang Limin s collar and started beating him. Liang Sen was not in the right mind and was vicious in his actions.Let him help Xiao Cao take a look, maybe he can find the answer.

He paused secretly, He said that my liver and lungs were injured.

Isn t this a crime.Let s rob her and lock her in the Pagoda of the Buddha.The burly monk clasped his hands together.At this time, Duan King Kong has restrained all his breath, except for his tower like body, he is no different from ordinary people, and the ring of fire behind his head has also restrained.

Luo Yuheng belongs to Xu Qian, and the number one beauty in Dafeng also belongs to Xu Qian.it can only be outsmarted.Hurry up, get to Xu Qi an s place before dawn.

Xu Qi an suppressed his excitement and asked, Why didn t you tell me this in advance Something Sun Xuanji took up a pen and wrote The teacher is a chess player.For him, there is no such thing as a sword without eyes.

The man in the cloak was silent for a moment, then smiled It seems Something happened in Xiangzhou, please tell King Kong.Tang Yuanwu, the head of the Shuangdaomen, looked indifferent, as if dismissive, but his eyes frequently looked at the bed curtain.

Xu Qi an looked Glancing at the small fox body, she silently covered her face.National teacher, I There are still things to do, if you are sleepy, you might as well rest for a while.

The holy son of Tianzong looked at a little friend from the corner of his eye, and saw that she was deeply shocked, and immediately said Ah, my cultivation base has been sealed, I should break the seal as soon as possible, Rouer, I will go back to my room to practice first.Does he have a grudge Xu Yuanhuai gritted his teeth, The grudge is as deep as the sea.

Families who were barely able to live by tightening their belts were affected by the cold wave and had to spend more money Buy charcoal fire, cotton clothes and other materials.After all, the Warlock s body is a little weak.Xu Yuanshuang nodded silently, turned around and went back to the house without saying anything.

The old Taoist Banana Leaf was as careful as a hair, and asked, What s the matter Qi Huan Danxiang stared at the little sparrow in his hand, frowned and said, This bird flew back and forth twice in the yard, it s a bit weird, I just quickly thought about it with my heart.It s still scattered dragon energy hosts, even if it is such a grand event as the martial arts conference, even if there is more than one dragon energy host in Yongzhou, it is not a normal probability to appear here at the same time at the same time.

That family has received my favor, and they are always willing to believe me, and they didn t think I was a murderer because of the rumors outside.It turned out that she kept trying Xu Qi an glanced expressionlessly at Bai Ji who was squatting at the door.

This is the consensus of the people of the rivers and lakes and the court.Doraemon s sleeve Xu Qi an looked at it in amazement, he had seen many treasures for storage, including kits, mirrors, porcelain, etc.

where to Li Lingsu asked subconsciously.You ll know when you go.The scholar took the topic and said In Xia Luwei, a person from Qingshan County, the new king is enthroned, and the Enke will be opened next year, so he plans to go on a study tour and go to the capital.

The biggest drug dealer in the town is an organization called Medicine Gang.Buddhism has always cultivated oneself first, and then People.

Dongfang Wanqing squeezed out a smile on her cold face Why does the Buddha stand on the sidelines how could I know.Then he answered Jingxin, The poor monk can only guide the dragon s energy.

Tang Yuanwu nodded, and said solemnly So, it was your lady who taught you how to have sex Li Shaoyun.Even if some of the spies under him had seen them in the inn, the spies could tell at a glance that they were the two sun gods Seeing that Canglong stopped talking, Agent Chen let out a sigh of relief, made some calculations, looked at Ji Xuan and the others, and said It seems that Xu Qi an also found a lot of helpers.

After half an hour, return immediately regardless of whether there is any result.Concubine Chen Gui nodded, Go and come back quickly.

The old monk raised his hand and scratched at the void.Alas, if I can hook up with Xu The silver gong is ready, I turned around and went back to Jianzhou Wanhualou, and kicked Xiao Yuenu out of the sect.

If dragon energy can really save the court, if it is really in my body, then, then take it.Shopkeeper Wang on Xinghua Street said that a new shop opened next door has robbed him of his business.

The best I can do with this person, use a farmer as a point of contact to pass on the news.Nalan Rain Master of the second rank was suppressed on the second floor, but this broken arm was suppressed on the third floor, which shows that the owner is an extremely terrifying person.

look for him.I knew there was something tricky.At that time, he didn t say anything after probing.Then light up the two rows of candles next to the bed one by one, clusters of bright flames burn, the flames are quiet and the flame heads jump, dispelling the darkness in the room.

From this point, we can get a glimpse of why Buddhism has two systems.Of course, I won t put all the bets on you.Tsk tsk, I hope the young master s merits and virtues in this river and lake tour will be complete, and he will be attached to you in the future.

The bigger the ambition, the higher the fruit status, but correspondingly, the higher the difficulty.

Except for the necessary departments, we can turn all the remaining two buildings into wards, and the number of beds can be increased to 120.Then there should be no problem with the logic of brother s debt and sister s debt being repaid.

In the afternoon, Du Heng took the things he had packed and actually went to An Chun Hui.Everyone present knew what Du Heng and the emergency doctor did in the carriage, and what happened to the medicine in the emergency doctor s hand.

By the way, did you check it yesterday When talking about the patient, Yu Haiting became more serious, with a look of admiration on his face.But I thought it was a return to normal, so I didn t come to check.

Mom said you didn t have any money, so they asked you and your brother in law to ask for it.Zhou looked at Du Heng steadily and nodded in agreement again, You ask.

Considering that the patient has already taken Chinese patent medicine and Western medicine, I prescribed a decoction.Of course, you need to pay attention to rest. Before Liu Shengnan said anything, Xu Pinglin agreed, I m looking for you today.

Wang Shizhen brought Du Heng a new toothbrush and a disposable paper cup, Here, use this to brush your teeth.The couple walked out, but their daughter was holding her cell phone and didn t want to go out, and the couple didn t notice that their daughter didn t follow them.

He took out his mobile phone and called Wang Shuqiu directly, Hurry and get the car keys and wait for me in front of the car.Brother Ding, sit down and I ll get you a glass of water.

It s just the food that hurts the stomach, plus you have a cold stomach, and you didn t get treatment in time.Report it to our company. Just say that you are picking and making excuses.

Why should I be treated differently when I give a banner You are discriminating.Yu Haiting was a little disdainful. They were all one of his own.

The more he turned over it, the more satisfied Du Heng became.Du who Sheng Nan found. listening to Zhang Long s reaction, his level was very good.

In May, the pain was unbearable, so I went to the city center.But now she gets a 580, which is definitely an accident.

And Wang Shiyuan s words made it very clear that he should treat his wife well.But now Du Heng is 100 sure that his medicine is absolutely effective.

Du Heng replied very firmly, By the way, what do you want from me Yu Haiting s eyes were confused for a moment, but thinking of the purpose of his visit, he quickly said, I want to ask the dean for help.I had something to deal with at home yesterday, so I asked my sister to take care of my dad for a day.

Talk more and teach more. If this is not possible, then for Xu Pinglin s sake, continue to carry him, but really just be a handyman.Okay, I ll get some medicine for you. You also need to change to another ward.

Neptune, tell me the truth, what did you do after I got drunk yesterday Wei Kaida was held around the neck by Du Heng and did not dare to move.Among the people. Seeing that the person didn t respond, he shouted anxiously, The boy pees, hurry up and get a bowl of boy urine.

After repeatedly touching two places, he said softly, Give me a stethoscope.The door curtain of the main room invited Du Heng in.

say them. He turned to Yu Haiting and said, Call the First City Hospital and tell us that the patient is here.I remember it very well, so I will diagnose the patient as chronically ill with spleen deficiency and dampness.

Three doses of medicine cost more than 1,800, and I saw that my wife ate more than before, but she didn t see any other effects, and then I didn t see any effects anymore.In addition to making herself worried and nervous, it will also hinder the medical staff s rescue.

It s impossible to measure nosebleeds caused by trauma.Fortunately, the balloon works. If it doesn t work, Du Heng can only prepare to go to the city, or use the contraceptive equipment in the warehouse.

Gong Daoyang saw that Du Heng was sincere. The invitation was not a perfunctory one, so he nodded and agreed.Yes, just call me by my name. I m very embarrassed when you call me that.

Wei Kaida knew that Du Heng was a thin faced person.Especially when it comes to matters involving women s privacy, one must be extremely cautious.

Especially now that Du Heng has no worries about material life, it would be deceiving himself to say that he has no spiritual pursuits and does not want a sense of professional fulfillment.For Du Heng, who already specializes in women and children, the external inversion surgery does not carry much risk, but the operation technique is a little more troublesome.

That started from That s fundamentally wrong. Du Heng sighed, One more thing, Western medicine treats diseases by destroying the bacteria and viruses themselves, while Chinese medicine treats diseases by improving the place where bacteria and viruses survive, making this place unsuitable for bacteria and viruses to survive.

Tan Su tilted his head and said while smiling at Yu Liao, his usually affectionate eyes were more serious.Seeing this, Yu Liao s face sank slightly, thinking about the previous parchment scroll This method is against the law of heaven, and there will be retribution in the end, so be careful.

I can t Didn t you catch me Look at it, you can move it yourself.After saying that, Su Yan er wanted to step forward and grab her hand.

No need, Su.Girl, I ll go out first, we ll meet up at the Yuelai Inn ahead.The fantasy of this cave, she will definitely go to see it again when she is free in the future.

Why don t you talk about it, master, what about you, master As he said that, Tan Su s eyes even overflowed with a pleasant smile.Also because of the collision of the weapons of the two, a spark broke out.

Gu Jia raised his eyebrows, how could he feel that this kid had grown taller, and his stature was almost at the same level as him.Under these words, Yu Liao subconsciously stopped struggling.

Earlier, there were two boys who helped to eat.A few days ago, I went to Wugou Mountain with my master and never came back.Mrs.Chen s eyes were bloodshot and full of panic, and she no longer had the complacent and mad look she had when she came at night.

What Bai Yifen carries is a heavenly and national beauty.What s the meaning of Junior Sister s words Meng Xun was obviously more concerned about this, and asked with a slight frown.

Who of you can really stop me Oh, your eldest disciple can stop me, provided that he trades his life for it.She met the two attacking elders with the Qingchen sword in her hand, and from the corner of her eyes, she glanced at the back of the boat, the room where Su Mu was helped back earlier.

A Niang is the same, why don t you just investigate and drive them away, just like the monks who came before, they were driven away on the second or third day.However, Gu Jia also reminded her that the five year hairpin flower conference, the spiritual power confrontation competition of rising stars from various sects and sects in the monastic world, this stage is quite meaningful to Tan Su and his monks at this stage , In the competition, you can more or less discover your own shortcomings in battle.

If she remembered correctly, it should be someone from Gufan Mountain.Daoist Master Qingya got some clues from these words, she glanced at the junior sister on the bed, then frowned slightly and said Let s not talk about whether this method works, my junior sister will not agree, you should know What kind of temperament is my junior sister Uncle, how come I don t know that Master respects her temperament, but I can t let her have no spiritual power, she has practiced for so many years, how do you let her accept it, why is she not as good as a woman and child body Besides, Uncle Master also took my spirit veins just now, and the demon hostility in my body will destroy my spiritual altar sooner or later.

But there were also a few who still did not change their original intentions and attacked him, because they found that he was indeed the only one on the stage who hadn t gathered his spiritual power, and the sword in his hand was still a sword without any spiritual power.Domineering was a little surprised.If it wasn t for that face that hadn t changed much from when she was a child, Su Yan er would have suspected that she had identified the wrong person.

Yu Liao paused slightly, and the borderline practice of Qin Su and Qin Su appeared in his mind.She tried it, and wanted to joke with her senior brother that she was reborn, but she couldn t speak.

As he spoke, Qin Su used some skillful movements to deepen their embrace, and his chin slightly rested on her bun.Teenagers in this period, they are almost the same every day.

The words are seriously asking for an answer.Qin Su saw that there was an unconcealable smile in her words, and sighed softly, feeling helpless, I know Master has always liked to see me in trouble, but I can assure Master that as long as Master Your honor is not abandoning me, even if the master tells Ah Su to go to hell, I will obey.

Thinking of this, the corners of her lips curled up slightly.In a blink of an eye, Susu is already so tall.I remember him as a little radish.

Also, Yu Liao is the group favorite of their Wugou Mountain, that s what the little junior sister wants to be spoiled The cuties who have read my last chapter may find that the first few paragraphs are repeated.Yu Liao raised her eyebrows slightly under her words, her uncle is not herself Brothers, I don t know what the brothers and sisters are going to discuss.

Where does Master want to go As he spoke, Tan Su frowned slightly and looked at her, Yu Liao could feel the tension in his eyes.As he spoke, Gu Jia lowered his eyelids and smiled happily, shaking his fan.

Yu Liao didn t care about Xue Ji s little trick, she raised her head and glanced at Tan Su whose back was turned.Thinking of this, Yu Liao said angrily, Where is my sword I want to see if I can hit you with the sword Qin Su chuckled when he heard the words, and the nervousness in his eyes subsided a little.

Seeing that the elder brother has nothing to say, Su Yan er dared not continue to pester her After asking, she decided to observe and observe more by herself in the future, since she can find out the mind of the elder brother, she should be the first to know the mind of the master.After a while, the vines in his left hand gathered again, and the two spiritual powers in his right hand also began to rise.

Standing up to help her bow, he looked her in the eyes and said, There is no outsider, what are you doing, Yu Liao It finally came down to something real.The elder who had spoken before stabilized his face and stepped forward in a panic, with a kind smile on his face and continued You have also seen the injury of my young master, we didn t even have time to take care of him, so why would we chase you down Look at this.

Su Mu almost gritted his teeth and went down with a dark face.
