Home›Funerary Rituals›General Funerary Practices›All General Funerary PracticesBrowse ByAll General Funerary PracticesThe generic acts of disposing of and remembering the dead, described as practices across traditions and not as one tradition's rite: funeral rites in general, burial, cremation and the memorial service. A ritual belongs here when its cited article treats the practice as a general category. It excludes a funeral of a named tradition, which sits in that tradition's group. Examples in the atlas include Funeral Rites.All General Funerary PracticesSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)All General Funerary PracticesFilter Results3 entriesOrigin Period Start YearAll-1500 (1)FrequencyAllOnce, or at a turning point in a life (3)Life Stage MarkedAllDeath and the disposal of the body (3)ObligationAllObligatory (2)Optional and voluntary (1)Scholarly StandingAllA standard analytic category in the study of religion (3)Social FormAllPerformed by a gathered group (3)Practice StatusAllLiving tradition, practised today (2)PractitionerAllAll adherents of the tradition (1)Householders, those living in the world (1)Trained or authorised specialists (1)Holds ElementAllFire (1)TraditionAllAfrican Methodist Episcopal Church (1)African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church (1)Amish (1)Anglican Communion (1)Anglicanism (1)Armenian Apostolic Church (1)Baptist (1)Beta Israel (1)Breslov Hasidism (1)Calvinism (Reformed) (1)Chabad-Lubavitch (1)Christian Methodist Episcopal Church (1)Church of Cyprus (1)Church of England (1)Church of Greece (1)Church of Ireland (1)Church of Scotland (1)Church of Sweden (1)Church of the Nazarene (1)Conservative Judaism (1)Coptic Orthodoxy (1)Disciples of Christ (1)Dutch Reformed Church (1)Eastern Orthodoxy (1)Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople (1)Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church (1)Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church (1)Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (1)Free Methodist Church (1)Georgian Orthodox Church (1)Global Methodist Church (1)Greek Orthodox Church (1)Haredi Judaism (1)Hasidic Judaism (1)Karaite Judaism (1)Lutheranism (1)Methodism (1)Modern Orthodox Judaism (1)Moravian Church (1)National Baptist Convention of America (1)Oriental Orthodoxy (1)Orthodox Judaism (1)Presbyterianism (1)Progressive National Baptist Convention (1)Quakerism (Religious Society of Friends) (1)Reconstructionist Judaism (1)Reform Judaism (1)Roman Catholicism (1)Romanian Orthodox Church (1)Russian Orthodox Church (1)Serbian Orthodox Church (1)The Episcopal Church (1)The United Methodist Church (1)Ukrainian Orthodox Church (1)Wesleyan Church (1)Kind of ritualAllGeneral Funerary Practices (3)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 3BurialFunerary RitualsCremationFunerary RitualsFuneral RitesFunerary RitualsSourcesBurial (Wikipedia)Has Member: Burial, Introduction, sentence 1Quote, Has Member: Burial, Introduction, sentence 1Burial, also known as interment or inhumation, is a method of final disposition whereby a dead body is placed into the ground or in a structure such as a mausoleum, sometimes with objects.View the SourceCremation, the Catholic Church's 1963 Permission (Wikipedia and Catholic Culture)tier 3Wikipedia; Catholic CultureHas Member: Cremation, Introduction, sentence 1Quote, Has Member: Cremation, Introduction, sentence 1Cremation is a method of final disposition of a corpse or animal carcass through burning.View the SourceFuneral (Wikipedia)Has Member: Funeral Rites, Introduction, sentence 1Quote, Has Member: Funeral Rites, Introduction, sentence 1A funeral is a ceremony connected with the final disposition of a corpse, such as a burial, entombment or cremation with the attendant observances.View the SourceComments (0)No comments yet.
