From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A funeral is a ceremony marking a person's death. Funerary customs comprise the complex of beliefs and practices used by a culture to remember the dead, from the funeral itself, to various monuments, prayers, and rituals undertaken in their honour. These customs vary widely between cultures, and between religious affiliations within cultures. In some cultures the dead are venerated; this is commonly called ancestor worship. The word funeral comes from the Latin funus, which had a variety of meanings, including the corpse and the funerary rites themselves. Funeral rites are as old as the human culture itself, predating modern homo sapiens, to at least 300,000 years ago. For example, in the Shanidar cave in Iraq, in Pontnewydd Cave in Wales and other sites across Europe and the Near East, Neanderthal skeletons have been discovered with a characteristic layer of pollen, which suggests that Neanderthals buried the dead with gifts of flowers. This has been interpreted as suggesting that Neanderthals believed in an afterlife. From Wikipedia under the

How would I go about this in Texas? Also, what is the hierarchy in terms of jobs attributing to a mortuary?

A coroner and a funeral director are two completely different jobs. A coroner is a paid position, either elected or appointed, depending on the state. A coroner responds to death calls and determines the cause of death or orders an autopsy if necessary. A funeral director works at a funeral home, makes funeral arrangements and embalms bodies. A mortician and a funeral director are the same thing. Answered by Reagan - Wed Jul 23 17:34:46 2008 How long does an average funeral last?
