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.
Director Gao didn t say anything, he just asked you to come over.Wu Shengnan stopped talking, just curious and careful Look at the photos on your phone.
These words made Dong Yuezhang very unhappy. If he hadn t been entangled in his identity, he would have slapped him directly.So obviously, what you have to do is to heat up and dispel the cold.
The most important thing is that this kid actually signed a youth exchange agreement with his superior department, and our hospital is his counterpart exchange unit.Director Wang s words did not reassure Tang Yinglong at all.
But he was not surprised, because he simply did not believe that this man would keep kneeling there.The other issue is the project funding. Although it was only 50,000 yuan at the beginning, it was very small.
When Du Heng thought he was going to say something to him about yesterday s incident with the director of the health center, he didn t expect that he wouldn t mention it at all.Li Qin s big eyes blinked twice more, Okay, I still don t understand what you said, but are you sure you can cure Director Jia As a friend, you don t believe me Li Qin rolled his eyes and said, I m asking you on behalf of my sister in law.
When Du Jun finished speaking, he immediately said, What you said makes sense.Smelling the increasingly clear smell of gas, Gong Daoyang didn t dare to wait any longer and shouted directly, Duda, I am Gong Daoyang from the police station.
Dong Yuezhang lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then said after a while, Okay, please help me contact Lao Liao.Zheng immediately widened his eyes and glared at Du Heng.
Wu Shengnan adjusted his shoulders to let the ponytail girl lean more comfortably, and then continued to say softly, If I don t say anything now or answer his call, he will think I m angry and won t think too much about it.Dong Yuezhang had already picked out the peaches, so he stood up and said, Now the roadside is under strict control and they are definitely not allowed to be sold.
It s moving so hard. The two of them didn t speak, they just followed Du Heng s request.What if he doesn t agree or accept it The junior student suddenly smiled very frivolously, Brother Guan, what era are we in now Why are you so angry again Because at this time, the era of the Internet is an era where information transmission is calculated by the second.
Are you on your own This week when you were sick, there was no problem with the police station Are they still having fun And don t forget, you still have Xiao Zeng by your side, which is equivalent to what you have less There are two people.If you do it again, it will be.
It s hard for gods to save you. The patient nodded repeatedly without any evil thoughts.
Now there is only this way, which can not only restore the health center s vitality, but also don t have to worry about this burden being thrown on them.You are a doctor, so speak more calmly. As soon as the words here fell, the three old Chinese medicine doctors also took a step forward quickly, Doctor Du, there is no need for us to vent our anger.
After Director He s reminder, the laboratory doctor quickly started moving again, I remember correctly That hemiplegic patient who suffered a stroke, what magic medicine did you use to make him return to normal in just one day Or did you make a wrong diagnosis, Director He Director He looked at the picture on the computer with a smile in his eyes.
The driver also showed his ability and sent Du Heng to the downstairs of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Jinzhou University in less than forty minutes.After taking care of her for a while, my sister in law is in good health and all evil spirits have disappeared.
Here, let s take a look at the mandible first. Do you find anything Wu Shengnan glanced at his head, then shook his head, I can t tell.I will go and take a look, and then come back and continue to read the information.
This is the reason for gibbering. When liver fire is strong, wind is generated, and when the wind is strong, it moves, and when it moves, it causes running away.How he hoped at this moment that these seniors would be like Professor Wang and not question themselves and look down on themselves without giving him face, so that he could scold them unscrupulously and vent his anger.
His little thoughts were ruthlessly exposed by Wu Shengnan.The longer the time, the smaller the chance of his heart beating again.
From the tax bank case to the Sangbo case, and now, he has offended too many bigwigs in the court, and he has been tied to Wei Yuan to death.Besides the murderer, there were other people present at the time.
After the truth is revealed, Lord Shangshu will naturally know.Song Tingfeng became more sour all of a sudden, How did you do it The ability to tease good families is too strong, how can I teach my brother Brother How can I teach my younger brother.
Fu Xiang shook her head.Then why do you make tea circles every night and always let me go outside to ask Is Young Master Xu here the maid snickered.He might use the name of medical treatment to study the child, and the intention is definitely not malicious, but Song Qing s half baked bio alchemy will mess things up.
The handsome young man burst into a smile, and kept bowing, Master Xu, come with me, this way please, this way please.Ham is a unique delicacy in the south, which is hard to find in the north.
Song Tingfeng suddenly became happy, and said with a smile Ning Yan, how do you know that I like sweet tofu nao.The humble job is to investigate the case, the Sangbo case.
I m here to give you the silver.As he spoke, he spread his palms, and the Tonggong behind him held the silver in a calm expression.The reason why he chose Yunlu Academy to take over this person, instead of taking him into the fragments of the underground book, Xu Qi an had two advisors Concerns First, this person is in the realm of refining gods, and his rank is higher than him, so he dare not take risks.
He quickly jumped up from the bed and took off the clothes hanging on the wall.Li Miaozhen stopped five feet away from the guard army and said loudly Commander Xu, come and talk.
Xu Qi an s consciousness was clouded for a moment, but he regained consciousness in an instant, and the jade finger in his palm continued to emit warm power.Everyone knows that Xu Qi an s condition is not suitable for high intensity combat.
The postman whispered I found private prostitutes at Xin No.outside the city.Rows of bed crossbows fired, and the sound of bowstrings echoed clear and clear, and artillery was fired, and the rumbling sound was deafening.
Second, the existence of fragments of underground scriptures is a secret, and it cannot be shown openly to others.But half an hour later, he galloped back on his horse and rushed into the post station with an ugly expression Ning Yan, the city gate is closed.
What a pity, not only Su Su Su PTSD, was still imprisoned and interrogated in a dark room in his dream.Let the postman bring some sweets over.Xu Qi an said.
He carried Song Tingfeng to the private room next door, and slapped him twice with his hands.After floating on the water for six days, I ve grown spider webs.
It was as if a bolt of lightning struck everyone s hearts.It can be compared with ordinary qi training techniques, and it can sense things that ordinary people can t sense.
Autopsy results the flesh and viscera are black and purple, and there are corpses walking between the flesh and blood to keep the flesh from rotting.There was the clatter of horseshoes, and the Feiyan army came galloping, and the dust and smoke billowed.
Emperor Yuan Jing sneered You are honest, Wei Yuan.Two How do you see it Four If what No.1 said is true, Xu Qi an is obviously capable, but he is willing to be a fast player for many years, which is nothing special.
He has done his best every time.I don t believe that such a person will collude with the bandits.Loneliness, coldness, and invincibility are the eternal tone.
Governor Zhang nodded thoughtfully I can only pin our hopes on Ning Yan.He turned his head and cupped his hands to Governor Zhang Your Excellency is a good official.
No one could have imagined that Xu Qi an s professional ability was so strong.
But this retarded laughter made Du Heng, who had just joked, become stunned.The expansion of the nursing team is the largest. In August, I thought I only needed to add three or four people.
Hehua mixes it with beard and the adobe brick is allowed.Anyway, he had no sleep and no food. Suddenly, he saw the file on the desktop that had been idle for several days, and took it over to look through it again.
Wang Shuqiu said in a faint voice. Du Heng was suddenly in a trance.Wu. Dr. Du, thank you for coming. When he saw Du Heng, Mr.
Can t you be treated in the capital Du Heng shook his head, The hospitals here won t accept you.Feeling late. However, the two of them were having a good time chatting, but the delicate man was completely stifled.
That.
Let me do Qinqin s work, hey Just when the man was about to make a decision, a picture suddenly appeared in Director Li s mind, a leg with a comminuted tibia fracture, but a perfectly restored leg.Du Heng swallowed hard. It s not that they can t get along, the two of them really can t get along.
If you have time, come and help me check. Du Heng declined with a smile, I m both a student of the teacher.The pulse is even and even, compared to the scattered pulse before, it can be said to be extremely good.
After that, he lowered his head and did his own examination.But sighs are sighs, the examinations that should be done still have to be done, and they have to find a way to wake him up.
Du Heng looked at the fracture that was slowly returning to its original shape, and quickly reminded Gong Daoyang.On the way home, Du Xueting was still immersed in yesterday s joy, and she didn t know who she was chatting with, so she started to giggle from time to time.
Du Heng thought for a moment and put the gift box he just picked up back on the ground.It was no longer like the previous times where he had just initiated a connection request and the other side would immediately agree.
Take off the scarf and let me take a look. Zhang Xintian heard that the tumor had dissipated halfway, and his eyes showed very strong interest.However, the steady demeanor Du Heng had cultivated over the past year still gave the parents a little confidence.
A pregnant belly is large in the middle and bulges forward, but this woman s belly is not, it is bulging as a whole.The plaster splint is 80, the dean s treatment fee is 200, and the other three of us are free of charge.
When he arrived at Si Chunli, he paid Yu Yun Ling Lian, the sock window port top cow waiter, to touch and send Ping.As for the cost, after you have done it, ask Vice President Cui to send the order to Mayor Dong s desk.
Du Heng did not answer Cui Guanghai s question and greeted Cui Guanghai with a smile, Vice President Cui is here just in time.After waiting patiently for a long time, Du Heng finally saw the place where the woman said it hurt, which was a thumb sized blue spot on the side of his knee.
In a few breaths, they were much closer to them. Turning around and looking around, a group of people with tools appeared on the ridge on the left.Looking at Yang Zhengnong s nonchalant look just now, Du Heng was even more determined to exclude Yang Zhengnong from the village medical system.
Others are fine. The patient was a little excited when he talked about it.Yu Haiting was anxious, But if we delay like this, he will die.
You don t have to pretend to be a good person, you.
Be careful. Du Heng quickly stretched out his hand, but It was all empty.After a good sleep, Du Heng got up early and saw that Wang Shuqiu was still sleeping, so he left a note and went to work.
Du Ping scolded Du Heng, but Du Heng didn t care and asked Du Ping to get off the kang, Come down quickly and I ll do it for you.The steel nails I m counting for you are still made in China.
The person in the consulting room was Yu Haiting. When he saw Du Heng talking to Liang Yichang, he just nodded and said hello, and then clicked on the movie uploaded on the computer to watch it.Should I let you prepare it yourself Just sit there and wait for a while.
After the woman finished speaking, she turned around and entered a nearby suite, apparently to get some liquid.
Another senior brother and I are the teacher s last two students.Du Heng dialed Du Xueting s video. As soon as the video was connected, Du Xueting began to complain, Uncle, what are you doing , we are all starving to death waiting.
The giant nine giants will drink the catastrophic disaster.Yang Wei quickly said, Dean Du, just arrange an empty bed for me, as long as there is a hospital bed.
But women are celebrities, and what they want is different from ordinary people.Then he turned around and took two boxes of medicine from the medicine cabinet behind him, Use these two Take some medicine and drink two meals and you ll be fine.
Fortunately, after turning the big bend of the school, I saw the ambulance on the big slope of the school.Du Heng thought for a moment and said in a gentle and unambiguous tone, After the conversation just now, I have a deeper understanding of your knowledge and work.
Zhou next to him. From Du Heng s words, he could tell that Du Heng was invited by his daughter in law to see a doctor for him.Then he heard the child say, Where else can we go Either drink or play cards.
He looked at Wu Buwei with encouraging eyes and encouraged him to express his thoughts.There is a problem, there is nothing wrong with this.
He has no objection to Du Heng taking over Lan Changhua s position he is also very happy to let him learn the essence of the two prescriptions in Du Heng s hands and the ideas for treating stroke.
She put the dehydrated and shriveled petals and the letter together in a thick book, which was the only copy given to her by the mother concubine.Did she notice the existence of the monk Shenshu The monk is really asleep, or else he might have wiped out the female ghost.
1 No, he was the one who solved the tax and bank case.There is really something Song Tingfeng was overjoyed, approached, and urged, Open it and see what it is.
The reasons are first, the noodles produced on the assembly line are not tasty.That is to say, the population can grow steadily in 30 years of normal reproduction.
Zhou Min doesn t seem so stupid.Since it s not this year s almanac, I guess that almanac has some unusual meaning for him.And the evaluation of such emperors in the history books is not very good, at least for this kind of behavior.
You see, if it wasn t because of that Li Miaozhen coming over, wouldn t the matter be well covered up None of you are embarrassed.Because of him, the Minister of the Household Department of the Royal Party fell the Liang Party was abolished the Minister of Rites of the Royal Party fell The number of people who hated him was too many to count, and they were unwilling to give him honor even after death.

When writing about daily life, there are Huaiqing, Lin an, Erlang, and younger sisters.The first impression is always the most important and the most unchangeable, so No.
Second Uncle Xu wondered why this girl came here uninvited.I m sorry, I didn t think carefully, I don t know if my lord can return her to me.
the East China Sea, good luck.great profit.Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao, who were expressionless at first, froze suddenly.The carriage drove into the imperial city and stopped at the entrance of Gongcheng.
This question seemed to touch on Princess Huaiqing s weakness, which made her suddenly solemn, and interjected This palace is also troubled by this question.He suddenly stopped, and looked at Xu Qi an silently.
Even if my team, plus myself, had to deal with a fourth rank Jingong, I m afraid they would all end up dead together.Free is the most expensive, because the thing that replaces the transaction is emotion.
but I know in my heart that the teacher once killed the teacher.This brat bullies and insults me, if you come later, I will be pregnant with his evil seed, woo woo woo.
It doesn t require much friendship, just let the other party remember the name, that s enough.
