Amerikanske begravelsesritualer ??

Legg inn av dn01013 » 02 apr 2012 18:32:21

I en begravelsesannonse annonseres det tre steder. Hvor skjedde egentlig begravelsen???

N N a resident of Mount Prospect for 42 years Visitation for N N (nee XX) will be from 2 to 9 p.m. today, at Friedrichs Funeral Home, 320 W. Central Road (at Northwest Highway), Mount Prospect. Interment will be in Mount Emblem Cemetery. Services will be held at 10:30 a.m. Thursday, at the funeral home.

Antar at visitation er der hvor man kan komme og se liket eller liknende. :-)

Tre steder? Jeg ser bare to.

"Visning" hos begravelsesbyrået (Friedrichs Funeral Home)
Fysisk gravsted på Mount Emblem Cemetery
Seremoni hos begravelsesbyrået (at the funeral home)

Bjørnar har det riktig.

Those of us in the USA would understand that the visitation and the funeral service are at the funeral home and the burial will be in the cemetery indicated.

In the USA, the "usual" / vanlig rituals are:

* A funeral is usually held within a week of the person's death. The scheduling may depend on how long it will take near family members to arrive - especially if they have to travel from out of state. Sometimes there a small, private service/burial held shortly after death with a larger memorial service held some weeks later.

* A Visitation (Viewing/Visning) is usually held in the late afternoon and evening the day before the funeral, usually for about four hours from around 16:00-20:00. This takes place at the funeral home.

* Another Visitation time is held for one hour before the funeral. If the funeral is at a house of worship (church), then it is held at the church. If the funeral is at a funeral home, then it is at the funeral home.

* The funeral itself can be held at a house of worship (church) for a large funeral or the funeral home for a small one. Funerals are often held midday - 12 noon or 13:00 and usually last for 30 minutes to one hour.

* In the Midwest USA for a church funeral, it is common for a lunch/middag to be served immediately after the funeral if the service is held in a church that has a kitchen and reception area. This lunch is provided and served by the church.

* The timing of the burial depends on a number of things. Usually the burial is on the same day as the funeral.
- If the funeral is at a rural (bygd) church that has a cemetery attached and the person will be buried there, the burial often immediately follows the funeral service (and afterwards they have lunch).
- If the funeral is at a church and the burial / committal is to be at a nearby cemetery, the short burial service is held and then the family and mourners return to the church for lunch.
- If the weather is particularly bad (for example, in the Midwest in winter) or there is to be a cremation, the committal may be held in the church narthex outside the sanctuary, the casket is removed by the funeral home and the actual burial occurs later.
- If the funeral is at a funeral home, the burial often follows immediately after the service.

* After the burial and lunch, it is not uncommon for the close family to gather at a nearby family member's house for the late afternoon and evening.

I recently had an opportunity to discuss Norwegian vs US funeral traditions with a friend in Norway. One difference is with the flowers. In the USA, the family usually provides flowers for the casket, but many Protestant churches use funeral palls/mortcloths (casket cover) instead of flowers. Family members and friends can provide additional floral arrangements and these are in vases, baskets or as wreaths on stands. All of these are placed at the front of the church during the funeral. Flowers are not permitted in the aisles. If there is a burial after the funeral, some of the arrangements may be placed on the grave. However, a number of the arrangements are either given to family members or (in the case of the death of an older person) often sent to area alderheimer / retirement homes.
