A state funeral is a public funeral ceremony, observing the strict rules of protocol, held to honor heads of state or other important people of national significance. State funerals usually include much pomp and ceremony as well as religious overtones and distinctive elements of military tradition. Generally, state funerals are held in order to involve the general public in a national day of mourning after the family of the deceased gives consent. A state funeral will often generate mass publicity from both national and global media outlets, such as state funerals undertaken in the United Kingdom as well as state funerals in the United States.

Q. My granddaughter needs $3,500 before the funeral home will even start to bury her financee. He was the oldest of three boys. Their parents are dead and he was taking care of his two younger brothers. They had no insurance, and no money. Asked by bjharris - Sat Apr 25 08:58:37 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. I am surprised to hear that the funeral home will not proceed without that much money in advance. I don't know if that is true of all of them. Most will allow you to set up a payment plan. Perhaps you could call around to see if another funeral home wouldn't have such restrictions. The next place I would talk to is Social Services and other agencies to see what help is available. And even if that agency is not the right one, ask them if they know who is. The more people you ask questions of the more likely you are going to find the help you need. I wish I could be of more help. Answered by Mary - Sat Apr 25 16:28:26 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "State funeral" |
