The death of a loved one is always taken by surprise, even if this person has been sick for a long time. It is simply impossible to prepare mentally for this. And at the same time, if trouble does come to the house, close relatives must pull themselves together and prepare everything in order to organize the funeral of the deceased at a decent level. It is imperative to observe all rituals, organize a farewell to the deceased, burial, and commemoration.
The relatives of the deceased person will have to collect their thoughts and determine what needs to be done first. The most important thing is to determine the place for the future grave. Usually, ritual services deal with these issues. If a relative died at home, you need to take a death certificate from the hospital. If outside the house, then the body is sent to the morgue. In this case, the certificate is issued at the morgue.
It is also necessary to invite a police officer who must draw up a report on the examination of the body. You need to get a death certificate. Then there is a visit to a ritual organization, where everything that is needed for the funeral is ordered. The very first is a coffin, which will be made taking into account the height and weight of the deceased. The second is wreaths with ribbons, they can be made of natural or artificial flowers. Candles, towels and other necessary accessories are also sold here. As for the monument, it is recommended to first order a temporary one and only after a year - a permanent one. The fact is that the shrinkage of the earth at the burial site occurs just within one year.
If a relative was baptized, it is imperative to order a service in the church and invite a priest for the funeral ceremony. You should talk with the priest about how to properly observe all church traditions and not make mistakes. This is much more important than hanging mirrors and other similar beliefs.
After the funeral is over, the relatives of the deceased will organize a commemoration. Everyone who knew the deceased can come to the commemoration. Soup, fish pies, buckwheat porridge are usually served. Pancakes with honey and kutia are placed on the table, compote is served on the third. The commemoration should be thought out in advance; to do this, they either turn to a cafeteria or cafe, or ask distant relatives and friends to help in organizing a memorial dinner at home.
