Philippines Funeral Trivia


Philippines Funeral Trivia

·      Funerals take a considerable emotional, mental and physical toll on members of the bereaved. The gathering of relatives and close attendees generate all sorts of energies.
·      In view of the short and unexpected time available to attend to the many and the varied tasks and decisions, the assignment of tasks and decisions among the bereaved may provide stress-relief and add to the bonding of a final farewell.
·      Funerals are instances when legitimate and illegitimate family members meet at different stages of a funeral.  There are instances when neither have had prior knowledge of the existence of each other.

·      Funeral costs often follow medical costs and other expenses, particularly in the case of tragic circumstances.  Funeral expenses are relatively large and unexpected.  Funds, when immediately available,  will reduce the stress a funeral may cause.
·      Viewing/wakes are public gatherings ... social events.  Sadly, the events are opportunities for free loaders of meals, snacks, refreshments and even put unattended valuables at risk.
