Blessed vs. blest – Correct Spelling – Grammarist

https://grammarist.com/spelling/blessed-blest/



Blessed vs. blest



Blessed is the past tense and past participle of bless. Blest is an archaic form that shows up mainly in references to old, mostly poetical texts and as a poetic affectation. Elsewhere, it has been pushed out of the language. This is the case throughout the English-speaking world.



Primis Player Placeholder











Both spellings descend from older forms in Old and Middle English, and both developed around the  14th century,1 though blessed is probably a little older. Blessed is one of a number of -ed words that gained a -t variant when the vowel sound in -ed was dropped around the 16th century.2 



Blest was never more common than blessed, though, and today we remember it mainly because it appears in some great literary works of the early modern era. Shakespeare, for example, used it a few dozen times (at least in the early renderings of his plays, which were assembled by several people with different spelling preferences, and where blessed is actually about twice as common as blest). It is probably significant that in our searches for historical examples of the two forms, most instances of blest are in poetry. Blessed, meanwhile, is disproportionately common in Christian texts.



The old, two-syllable pronunciation of blessed (bless-id) survives in religious oratory and in some religious phrases, but elsewhere the word’s ending is pronounced like that of other words ending in -essed—that is, est instead of ess-id.

Examples



Rude am I in my speech, / And little blest with the soft phrase of peace. [Othello, Shakespeare (1604)]



Thrice all hail! and blessed be / Those that love and honor thee. [“Phil’arete,” George Wither (early 17th century)]



Blest paper-credit! last and best supply! / That lends corruption lighter wings to fly! [The Dunciad, Alexander Pope (1729)]



Though blessed with only a trembling faith herself, she was desirous of animating the confidence or others. [The Evangelical Magazine, vol. 10 (1802)]



Having few wants, blest with a climate in which the rudest methods of cultivation produce abundance of food for their use, they out to be a happy and contented race. [Popular Science (1889)]



Hurriedly Bilbo stepped back and blessed the luck of his ring. [The Hobbit, J.R.R. Tolien (1937)]



How blest we are to be able to rely on lawfully constituted government backed by such documents as our Constitution and the Bill of Rights. [Gainesville Sun (1991)]



He has always been blessed with the sort of temperament that enables him to ignore all distractions. [Telegraph (2012)]

Death is not the end: Fascinating funeral traditions around the globe |

Death is not the end: Fascinating funeral traditions around the globe |



Death is not the end: Fascinating funeral traditions from around the globe

Oct 1, 2013 / Kate Torgovnick May



The funerals I’ve attended have all been very much the same. Relatives and friends arrive in all black and take seats in the church or synagogue pews for a somber ceremony where prayers are said, memories are shared and tears are shed. The attendees walk slowly out to their cars and form a single file line a behind the hearse, arriving at the graveyard where they place roses on the casket just before it’s lowered into the ground. Then, they proceed to the immediate family’s home, where the doorbell rings with a steady stream of loved ones — casserole dishes in hand — since, in the days ahead, people often forget to eat.



Cultural anthropologist Kelli Swazey (TED Talk: Life that doesn’t end with death) shares a different approach to memorializing the dead. In Tana Toraja in eastern Indonesia, funerals are raucous affairs involving the whole village. They can last anywhere from days to weeks. Families save up for long periods of time to raise the resources for a lavish funeral, where sacrificial water buffalo will carry the deceased’s soul to the afterlife. Until that moment — which can take place years after physical death — the dead relative is referred to simply as a “person who is sick,” or even one “who is asleep.” They are laid down special rooms in the family home, where they are symbolically fed, cared for and taken out — very much still a part of their relative’s lives.



During Kelli Swazey's TED Talk, she shows a slide of a Torajan family with their deceased relative.



Funeral practices are deeply ingrained in culture and around the globe hugely varied traditions reflect a wide spread of beliefs and values. Here, a look at just a few of funeral traditions that might strike someone outside a culture as odd.



The New Orleans jazz funeral. It’s one of the prototypical images of New Orleans, Louisiana: the boisterous, jazz-tinged funeral procession. Fusing West African, French and African-American traditions, funerals in New Orleans strike a unique balance between joy and grief as mourners are lead by a marching band. The band plays sorrowful dirges at first, but once the body is buried, they shift to an upbeat note. Cathartic dancing is generally a part of the event, to commemorate the life of the deceased. [Wikipedia]

South Korean burial beads. In South Korea, a law passed in 2000 requires anyone burying a loved one to remove the grave after 60 years. Because of dwindling graveyard space and this resulting law, cremation has become much more popular. But families don’t always opt for ashes. Several companies there compress remains into gem-like beads in turquoise, pink or black. These “death beads” are then displayed in the home. [The Week]



Filipino death traditions. Many ethnic groups in the Philippines have unique funeral practices. The Benguet of Northwestern Philippines blindfold their dead and place them next to the main entrance of the house; their Tinguian neighbors dress bodies in their best clothes, sit them on a chair and place a lit cigarette in their lips. The Caviteño, who live near Manila, bury their dead in a hollowed-out tree trunk. When someone becomes ill, they select the tree where they will eventually be entombed. Meanwhile, the Apayo, who live in the north, bury their dead under the kitchen. [Wikipedia]



Sky burial in Mongolia and Tibet. Many Vajrayana Buddhists in Mongolia and Tibet believe in the transmigration of spirits after death — that the soul moves on, while the body becomes an empty vessel. To return it to the earth, the body is chopped into pieces and placed on a mountaintop, which exposes it to the elements — including vultures. It’s a practice that’s been done for thousands of years and, according to a recent report, about 80% of Tibetans still choose it. [The Buddhist Channel]

Green funerals. In the United States, more and more people are opting for environmentally friendly burials. This means skipping embalming processes, nixing traditional concrete vaults and getting biodegradable, woven-willow caskets, which decompose into the ground. The Green Burial Council has approved 40 environmentally friendly cemeteries in the U.S. — way up from a decade ago. Another option: becoming a memorial “reef ball.” A company called Eternal Reefs compresses remains into a sphere that is attached to a reef in the ocean, providing a habitat for sea life. [Newsweek, Wall Street Journal]



Balinese cremation. “Strange as it seems, it is in their cremation ceremonies that the Balinese have their greatest fun,” Miguel Covarrubias wrote in the 1937 book, Island of Bali. In 2008, the island saw one of its most lavish cremations ever as Agung Suyasa, head of the royal family, was burned along with 68 commoners. Thousands of volunteers gathered to carry a giant bamboo platform, an enormous wooden bull and wooden dragon. After a long procession, Suyasa’s body was eventually placed inside the bull and burned as the dragon stood witness. In the Balinese tradition, cremation releases the soul so it is free to inhabit a new body — and doing this is considered a sacred duty. [The New York Times]

The turning of the bones in Madagascar. The Malagasy people of Madagascar have a famous ritual called “famadihana,” or “the turning of the bones.” Once every five or seven years, a family has a celebration at its ancestral crypt where the bodies, wrapped in cloth, are exhumed and sprayed with wine or perfume. As a band plays at the lively event, family members dance with the bodies. For some, it’s a chance to pass family news to the deceased and ask for their blessings — for others, it’s a time to remember and tell stories of the dead. [The New York Times]

Aboriginal mortuary rites in Australia. When a loved one dies in Aboriginal society in Australia’s Northern Territory, elaborate rituals begin. First, a smoking ceremony is held in the loved one’s living area to drive away their spirit. Next a feast is held, with mourners painted ochre as they partake in food and dance. The body is traditionally placed atop a platform and covered in leaves as it is left to decompose. It has been reported that in some traditions, fluids from the platform can help identify the deceased’s killer. [PubMed]



Ghana fantasy coffins. In Ghana, people aspire to be buried in coffins that represent their work or something they loved in life. These so-called “fantasy coffins” were recently popularized by Buzzfeed, which showed images of 29 outrageous ones, from a coffin shaped like a Mercedes-Benz for a businessman to an oversized fish for a fisherman to a really big Bible for someone who loved going to church. [Buzzfeed]

Also worth noting: it’s not always black that signifies death, as it does in the West — white, purple, grey, green and yellow also mark the passage of life. Check out this visualization from David McCandless (TED Talk: The beauty of data visualization) to see which color is used where: row 16 shows the color associated with death and row 59 reveals the varied colors associated with mourning.

Memorial Verses and Memorial Wording for gravestones


In loving memory of Sam

1.

Our thoughts are ever with you
though you have passed away.
And those who loved you dearly
Are thinking of you today.




2.

Everyday in some small way
Memories of you come our way.
Though absent, you are always near
Still missed, loved and always dear.

3.

Your presence I/we miss,
Your memory I/we treasure,
Loving you always,
Forgetting you never.

4.
No farewell words were spoken,
No time to say goodbye,
You were gone before we knew it,
And only God can tell us why.

5.
Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,

Still loved, still missed and very dear.

6.
We can't have old days back
When we were all together.
But secret tears and loving thoughts
Will be with us forever.

7.
Thank you for loving and sharing
For giving and for caring.
God bless you and keep you,
Until we meet again.

8.
In our hearts your memory lingers,
Sweetly tender, fond and true,
There is not a day, dear Mother (Father),
That we do not think of you.

9.
When a loved one becomes a memory
That memory becomes a treasure.



10.

Your gentle face and patient smile
With sadness we recall
You had a kindly word for each
And died beloved by all.

11.
Your life was a blessing
your memory a treasure...
You are loved beyond words
and missed beyond measure...

12.
You are not forgotten loved one
Nor will you ever be.
As long as life and memory last
We will remember thee.


13.
We miss you now, our hearts are sore,
As time goes by we miss you more,
Your loving smile, your gentle face,
No one can fill your vacant place.

14.
Your touch, your smile,
Was always so tender,
Today, tomorrow,
We will always remember.

15
We miss you in so many ways,
We miss the things you used to say,
And when old times we do recall,
It�s then we miss you most of all.


16
Nothing can ever take away
The love a heart holds dear.
Fond memories linger every day
Remembrance keeps him/her near.


17
Looking back with memories,
Upon the path you trod,
We bless the hours we had with you,
And leave the rest with God.

18
Those we love we never lose,
For always they will be,
Loved, remembered, treasured,
Always in our memory.

19.
Always in our thoughts
Forever in our hearts



20.

Tenderly we treasure the past
With memories that will always last.

21.

Remembering you on this day,
Comforted by so many memories.

22.

Though absent you are very near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.

23..
In the hearts of those who loved you
You will always be there.

24.
our hearts to lose you,
But you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.

25.
Think of him/her as living
In the hearts of those he/she touched.
For nothing loved is ever lost
And he/she was loved so much!

26
A silent thought, a secret tear,
Keeps your memory ever dear,
God took you home, it was his will,




But in our hearts, you live still.










*27.




I have fought the good fight




I have finished the race




I have kept the faith.




~




II Timothy 4:7










28.




God saw you getting tired




and a cure was not to be.




So he put his arms around you




and whispered "Come to Me".




A golden heart stopped beating,




hard working hands now rest.




God broke our hearts to prove to us




He only takes the best.










29




God saw you getting tired




and a cure was not to be.




So he put his arms around you,




and whispered "Come to Me".




With tearful eyes we watched you,




we watched you fade away.




Although we loved you dearly,




we could not make you stay.




A golden heart stopped beating,




hard working hands now rest.




God broke our hearts to p




rove to us




He only takes the best.










30.




Life is but a stopping place,




A pause in what's to be,




A resting place along the road,




To sweet eternity.










We all have different journeys,




Different paths along the way,




We are all meant to learn some things,




But never meant to stay.










Our destination is a place,




Far greater than we know,




For some the journey's quicker,




For some the journey's slow.










But when the journey finally ends,




We'll claim a great reward,




And find an everlasting peace,




Together with the Lord.










31.




Little did we know that morning




God was going to call your name.




In life we loved you dearly,




in death we do the same.




It broke our hearts to lose you,




but you did not go alone.




For part of us went with you,




the day God called you home.




You left us peaceful memories,




your love is still our guide.




And though we cannot see you,




you are always by our side.




Our family chain is broken




and nothing seems the same.




But as God calls us one by one,




the chain will link again.










32




If we could have a lifetime wish




and one dream that could come true




We would pray to God with all our




hearts just to see and speak to you




A thousand words won�t bring you back




We know because we�ve tried




and neither will a million tears




We know because we�ve cried




You�ve left behind our broken hearts




and precious memories too




But we�ve never wanted memories




We only wanted you










33.










Right now I'm in a different place




And though we seem apart




I'm closer than I ever was




... I'm there inside your heart










I'm with you when you greet each day




And while the sun shines bright




I'm there to share the sunsets, too




... I'm with you every night










I'm with you when the times are good




To share a laugh or two,




And if a tear should start to fall




... I'll still be there for you










And when that day arrives




That we no longer are apart,




I'll smile and hold you close to me




... Forever in my heart










34




As you hold me close in memory,




even though we are apart,




my spirit will live on,




there within your heart .




I am with you always.









When you lean on trusted friends




and their caring hugs enfold you,




within their loving arms,




I'll be there to hold you.




I am with you always.










And beyond the far horizon




when we'll finally be together,




where love will be eternal




and life will last forever.




I am with you always.










35.




God looked around his garden




and found an empty place




He then looked down upon this earth




and saw your tired face




He put his arms around you




and lifted you to rest




God�s garden must be beautiful




He always takes the best




He knew that you were suffering




He knew you were in pain




He knew that you would never




get well on earth again




He saw that the road was getting rough




and the hills are hard to climb




So he closed your weary eyelids




and whispered, �Peace be thine�




It broke our hearts to lose you




But you didn�t go alone




For part of us went with you




The day God called you home










36.




Although death has separated us physically,




faith and love have bound us eternally.




Though we cannot see you,




we know you are here.




Though we cannot touch you,




we feel the warmth of your smile,




as we begin a new chapter in our lives.










37.




Today we pause to reflect upon




those who have shaped our character,




molded our spirits and touched our hearts.




May the lighting of this candle be a




reminder of the memories we have shared,




a representation of the everlasting




impact you have made upon our lives.










38.




You were a gift sent straight from Heaven.




Given to us from God above.




We didn't know how much you would teach us




About the meaning of true love...




For true love sometimes means letting go




Of someone precious and dear.




That is what we were forced to do...




Although we wanted to keep you here!!!




However, this is quite a selfish wish.




One we know we should ignore...




But, sweet (babies name), we truly do believe




That God must have needed you more...




Perhaps to be an Angel now,




Full of wisdom and love...




Watching over those of us who love you




From the shining stars above.




We miss you more than you can know.




You will never be replaced...




In our hearts and memories forever,




Will be your sweet and innocent sleeping face.










39.




If Roses grow in Heaven,




Lord please pick a bunch for me




Place them in my Mother's arms




And tell her they're from me




Tell her I love her and miss her




And when she turns to smile




Place a kiss upon her cheek




And hold her for awhile




Because remembering her is easy,




I do it every day




But there's an ache within my heart




Because I am missing her today...










40.




Those we love remain with us




for love itself lives on




Cherished memories never fade




because one loved is gone




Those we love can never be




more than a thought apart




For as long as there is a memory




they live on in our heart










41




Do not stand at my grave and weep.




I am not there, I do not sleep.




I am a thousand winds that blow.




I am a diamond glint of snow.




I am the sunlight on ripened grain.




I am the gentle autumn rain.




When you awake in the morning hush,




I am the swift uplifting rush




of quiet birds in circling flight.




I am the soft star shine at night.




Do not stand by my grave and cry




I am not there...




I did not die.










42.




Footsteps In The Sand










One night a man had a dream.




He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the LORD.




Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.




For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand:




one belonging to him and the other to the LORD.




When the last scene of his life flashed before him




he looked back, at the footprints in the sand.




He noticed that many times along the path of his life




there was only one set of footprints.




He also noticed that it happened at the very




lowest and saddest times of his life.




This really bothered him and he questioned the LORD about it:




"LORD, you said that once I decided to follow you,




you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that




during the most troublesome times in my life




there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand




why when I needed you most you would leave me."




The LORD replied:




"My son, My precious child,




I love you and I would never leave you.




During your times of trial and suffering,




when you see only one set of footprints,




it was then that I carried you."










43.




I�d like the memory of me




to be a happy one,




I�d like to leave an afterglow




of smiles when life is done..




I�d like to leave an echo




whispering softly down the ways,




Of happy times and laughing times




and bright and sunny days.




I�d like the tears of those who grieve,




to dry before the sun,




Of happy memories that I leave behind




When life is done.










44.




This day will be a celebration




of the short time you were here.




You will always be remembered




with great love and many tears.




But to only feel pain and sorrow




would not be fair to you.




Your life meant so much more to us,




more than words could say.




You were here so briefly,




I wonder if you knew




all the ways you�ve touched




our world and our hearts




and everyone who knew you




since the day God called you home.




Now my child, you�re an angel




with your heavenly Father above,




we see not only what we�ve lost




but our capacity of love.




There will always be a big void




in our life and a hole in our




hearts that will never heal.




Our souls will grieve forever.




Will we forget or stop loving you?




No! Not now�not ever.




As this day is upon us,




oh, how our hearts still hurt.




But even as I mourn your death,




we will always celebrate your birth.




It was the happiest day of our li1.




Our thoughts are ever with you




Though you have passed away.




And those who loved you dearly




Are thinking of you today.




2.




Everyday in some small way




Memories of you come our way.




Though absent, you are always near




Still missed, loved and always dear.










3.




Your presence I/we miss,




Your memory I/we treasure,




Loving you always,




Forgetting you never.










4.




No farewell words were spoken,




No time to say goodbye,




You were gone before we knew it,




And only God can tell us why.










5.




Those we love don't go away,




They walk beside us every day,




Unseen, unheard, but always near,




Still loved, still missed and very dear.










6.




We can't have old days back




When we were all together.




But secret tears and loving thoughts




Will be with us forever.










7.




Thank you for loving and sharingFor giving and for caring.




God bless you and keep you,




Until we meet again.










8.




In our hearts your memory lingers,




Sweetly tender, fond and true,




There is not a day, dear Mother (Father),




That we do not think of you.










9.




When a loved one becomes a memory




That memory becomes a treasure.










10.




Your gentle face and patient smile




With sadness we recall




You had a kindly word for each

Your touch, your smile,

It�s then we miss you most of all.

~




II Timothy 4:7










28.




God saw you getting tired




and a cure was not to be.




So he put his arms around you




and whispered "Come to Me".




A golden heart stopped beating,




hard working hands now rest.




God broke our hearts to prove to us




He only takes the best.










29




God saw you getting tired




and a cure was not to be.




So he put his arms around you,




and whispered "Come to Me".




With tearful eyes we watched you,




we watched you fade away.




Although we loved you dearly,




we could not make you stay.




A golden heart stopped beating,




hard working hands now rest.




God broke our hearts to p




rove to us




He only takes the best.










30.




Life is but a stopping place,




A pause in what's to be,




A resting place along the road,




To sweet eternity.










We all have different journeys,




Different paths along the way,




We are all meant to learn some things,




But never meant to stay.










Our destination is a place,




Far greater than we know,




For some the journey's quicker,




For some the journey's slow.










But when the journey finally ends,




We'll claim a great reward,




And find an everlasting peace,




Together with the Lord.










31.




Little did we know that morning




God was going to call your name.




In life we loved you dearly,




in death we do the same.




It broke our hearts to lose you,




but you did not go alone.




For part of us went with you,




the day God called you home.




You left us peaceful memories,




your love is still our guide.




And though we cannot see you,




you are always by our side.




Our family chain is broken




and nothing seems the same.




But as God calls us one by one,




the chain will link again.










32




If we could have a lifetime wish




and one dream that could come true




We would pray to God with all our




hearts just to see and speak to you




A thousand words won�t bring you back




We know because we�ve tried




and neither will a million tears




We know because we�ve cried




You�ve left behind our broken hearts




and precious memories too




But we�ve never wanted memories




We only wanted you










33.










Right now I'm in a different place




And though we seem apart




I'm closer than I ever was




... I'm there inside your heart










I'm with you when you greet each day




And while the sun shines bright




I'm there to share the sunsets, too




... I'm with you every night










I'm with you when the times are good




To share a laugh or two,




And if a tear should start to fall




... I'll still be there for you










And when that day arrives




That we no longer are apart,




I'll smile and hold you close to me




... Forever in my heart










34




As you hold me close in memory,




even though we are apart,




my spirit will live on,




there within your heart .




I am with you always.









When you lean on trusted friends




and their caring hugs enfold you,




within their loving arms,




I'll be there to hold you.




I am with you always.










And beyond the far horizon




when we'll finally be together,




where love will be eternal




and life will last forever.




I am with you always.










35.




God looked around his garden




and found an empty place




He then looked down upon this earth




and saw your tired face




He put his arms around you




and lifted you to rest




God�s garden must be beautiful




He always takes the best




He knew that you were suffering




He knew you were in pain




He knew that you would never




get well on earth again




He saw that the road was getting rough




and the hills are hard to climb




So he closed your weary eyelids




and whispered, �Peace be thine�




It broke our hearts to lose you




But you didn�t go alone




For part of us went with you




The day God called you home










36.




Although death has separated us physically,




faith and love have bound us eternally.




Though we cannot see you,




we know you are here.




Though we cannot touch you,




we feel the warmth of your smile,




as we begin a new chapter in our lives.










37.




Today we pause to reflect upon




those who have shaped our character,




molded our spirits and touched our hearts.




May the lighting of this candle be a




reminder of the memories we have shared,




a representation of the everlasting




impact you have made upon our lives.










38.




You were a gift sent straight from Heaven.




Given to us from God above.




We didn't know how much you would teach us




About the meaning of true love...




For true love sometimes means letting go




Of someone precious and dear.




That is what we were forced to do...




Although we wanted to keep you here!!!




However, this is quite a selfish wish.




One we know we should ignore...




But, sweet (babies name), we truly do believe




That God must have needed you more...




Perhaps to be an Angel now,




Full of wisdom and love...




Watching over those of us who love you




From the shining stars above.




We miss you more than you can know.




You will never be replaced...




In our hearts and memories forever,




Will be your sweet and innocent sleeping face.










39.




If Roses grow in Heaven,




Lord please pick a bunch for me




Place them in my Mother's arms




And tell her they're from me




Tell her I love her and miss her




And when she turns to smile




Place a kiss upon her cheek




And hold her for awhile




Because remembering her is easy,




I do it every day




But there's an ache within my heart




Because I am missing her today...










40.




Those we love remain with us




for love itself lives on




Cherished memories never fade




because one loved is gone




Those we love can never be




more than a thought apart




For as long as there is a memory




they live on in our heart










41




Do not stand at my grave and weep.




I am not there, I do not sleep.




I am a thousand winds that blow.




I am a diamond glint of snow.




I am the sunlight on ripened grain.




I am the gentle autumn rain.




When you awake in the morning hush,




I am the swift uplifting rush




of quiet birds in circling flight.




I am the soft star shine at night.




Do not stand by my grave and cry




I am not there...




I did not die.










42.




Footsteps In The Sand










One night a man had a dream.




He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the LORD.




Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.




For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand:




one belonging to him and the other to the LORD.




When the last scene of his life flashed before him




he looked back, at the footprints in the sand.




He noticed that many times along the path of his life




there was only one set of footprints.




He also noticed that it happened at the very




lowest and saddest times of his life.




This really bothered him and he questioned the LORD about it:




"LORD, you said that once I decided to follow you,




you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that




during the most troublesome times in my life




there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand




why when I needed you most you would leave me."




The LORD replied:




"My son, My precious child,




I love you and I would never leave you.




During your times of trial and suffering,




when you see only one set of footprints,




it was then that I carried you."










43.




I�d like the memory of me




to be a happy one,




I�d like to leave an afterglow




of smiles when life is done..




I�d like to leave an echo




whispering softly down the ways,




Of happy times and laughing times




and bright and sunny days.




I�d like the tears of those who grieve,




to dry before the sun,




Of happy memories that I leave behind




When life is done.










44.




This day will be a celebration




of the short time you were here.




You will always be remembered




with great love and many tears.




But to only feel pain and sorrow




would not be fair to you.




Your life meant so much more to us,




more than words could say.




You were here so briefly,




I wonder if you knew




all the ways you�ve touched




our world and our hearts




and everyone who knew you




since the day God called you home.




Now my child, you�re an angel




with your heavenly Father above,




we see not only what we�ve lost




but our capacity of love.




There will always be a big void




in our life and a hole in our




hearts that will never heal.




Our souls will grieve forever.




Will we forget or stop loving you?




No! Not now�not ever.




As this day is upon us,




oh, how our hearts still hurt.




But even as I mourn your death,




we will always celebrate your birth.




It was the happiest day of our li

Family arrives to say goodbye to Kate Spade in Kansas City

Family arrives at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish Redemptorist Church in Kansas City, Mo. to say goodbye to fashion icon Kate Spade. BY SHELLY YANG | JILL TOYOSHIBA



In Islam, the deceased are to be buried within 24 hours.

This was highlighted in media reports of the death of Osama bin Laden. And controversy arose over bin Laden’s burial at sea.

Each major religion has its customs concerning burial. Although they vary widely, the one common denominator is respect for the body.


Islam

Russell Mohammed, a director of the Mid-America Muslim Cemetery, said the 24-hour burial is not in the Qur’an but is a cultural practice from the faith’s desire to respect the body and to a void decay.

Since autopsies would injure the body, those are to be avoided, he said.

“Also, we don’t embalm,” Mohammed said. “This is disrespecting the body.”

Since the cemetery is near the Islamic Center in south Kansas City, Mo., washing of the body is done at the center, he said. Then it is wrapped in a white shroud.

After that are prayers, and the body is taken to the cemetery.

“We don’t normally use caskets, just bury in the ground, where it (the body) becomes part of the soil,” he said. “The upper part of the body, the head, is turned toward Mecca.

“We respect the deceased just as if they were alive. The washing and the wrapping with a shroud is done carefully. We do not allow viewing of the body except for the immediate family after the washing.”

Mohammed said some Muslim countries do not allow women to go to the cemetery because they think they will be too emotional.

“We allow them to stand at a distance, and after the burial site is covered, they can come closer.”

Mohammed said that in some Muslim countries there are processions in the streets with the body in a casket. But that is not done in the U. S., he said.

“And we do not do a eulogy,” he said. “Whatever you are going to say about someone, you say it while the person is alive.”


Some Islamic clerics said bin Laden’s burial at sea violated Islamic law. White House counterterrorism adviser John Brennan said that the Obama administration consulted “appropriate special ists and experts” before making the decision and that finding a country to accept bin Laden’s body and making burial arrangements would have taken longer than 24 hours.

Judaism

Similarly, the traditional Jewish custom is to bury the deceased within 24 hours or if not, within 48 hours, said Rabbi Herbert Mandl of Kehilath Israel Synagogue.

“We don’t embalm,” he said. “Embalming is against Jewish law because you are not to tamper with the body. You are supposed to return the way you came, and embalming radically affects the bo dy.

“Also, cremation is forbidden,” Mandl said. “This is a major violation of Jewish law because you are destroying the body. If you have to keep the body for a few days, perhaps if a relative is coming from a distance or other extenuating circumstances, we would refrigerate.”

Wooden caskets are to be used so they deteriorate in the earth, he said. The deceased is buried in a white garment similar to a gown, and the casket is closed at the funeral, which is a sim ple service with Scripture, prayers and a eulogy.

Services are usually conducted at funeral homes, and then the people go to the cemetery.

“Traditional synagogues usually do not take the body inside the synagogue,” Mandl said.

Among Reform Jews, many of the deceased are buried in regular clothing, said Rabbi Mark Levin at Congregation Beth Torah in Kansas City. Burial generally is within two days, he said.

Following the funeral, traditional Jews would do an evening service at the home of the deceased’s family for seven days, while Reform Jews do it for one, two or three days, he said.

The location of a Reform Jewish funeral depends upon the custom of the city, Levin said. In the Kansas City area, for example, the custom is mostly to have it at a funeral home. However, ma ny of his members’ funerals are held at the temple.

Protestants

Requirements for Protestant Christian burials are few, said the Rev. J. Lowell Harrup of Northland Cathedral in Kansas City.

Although there is no required time frame, most funerals and burial are within three to four days, he said. Also, cremations are acceptable.

“There is great respect for the dead,” he said. “The body is created by God and destined for resurrection, so we see sacredness in death itself.”

People often specify what they want to be buried in, he said.

At the church, the tradition is for
the funeral to recount the good of the person’s life, and a Bible-based sermon is preached.

“People need hope and encouragement that there is more to this life than right now,” Harrup said. “I want to bring comfort but also remind people that this is something we will all face, an d
we need to be aware that there is an eternity beyond. I emphasize that Jesus has provided a place.”

In most African-American churches, the funeral includes prayer, Scripture, music, condolences from organizations the person was involved in, remarks from family and friends and a eulogy.

The casket usually is closed during the service and often re-opened afterward for the final viewing, but in some churches that is being discouraged because it is stressful for the family, s aid the Rev. Brenda Hayes, a pastor in St. Louis.

“The service is viewed as a celebration of the life that was lived and a victory won through faith,” she said. “The mood is upbeat, recalling the Scripture that those who die in Christ are absent from the body but now present with the Lord.

“Sometimes it is called a ‘Homegoing Celebration,’ going home to be with the Lord. The music is more about rejoicing. Prayers also are offered at the gravesite as the deceased is committed back to God.”

What used to be called a wake now is called family visitation, Hayes said.

“The wake used to be the night before, and often the body would be in the family’s house, and people would come there and everybody would be sad.”

Now, the visitation is often right before the service, and cremation is becoming more common, she said.

Sometimes it is several days to a week between the death and the funeral, especially if a lot of family members are coming from out of town.

Also, in the African-American tradition, “We dress them up,” Hayes said. “Dressy dresses or suits, hair done, makeup, jewelry, things that were the person’s favorite.”

Catholicism:

In the Catholic tradition, the deceased is buried as soon as arrangements can be made, said Deacon Ralph Wehner, director of sacred worship for the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph.

“The church prefers that the body be present for the funeral and if the person is to be cremated, that is done after the funeral,” he said. “We require ashes to be buried in an urn, not scattered or sit on someone’s mantel.

“The body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, and that body must be respected, and it is not respectful to scatter ashes or leave them somewhere.”

A vigil most commonly is held the night before the funeral, he said. “Vigils used to be in the funeral home but a trend is to have it at the church.

“The funeral Mass includes the reading of Scripture and prayers for the soul of the deceased and the family, prayers that express the hope and mercy of God and prayers for the saints in hea ven to assist this soul and for all who have died.”

Wehner said most people choose what they wish to be buried in.

If a person is buried in a Catholic cemetery, the ground already has been blessed. If buried in a non-Catholic cemetery, the priest would bless the gravesite. This would happen, for example , for a military person who is buried in a military cemetery.

Finally, even if the spouse is not Catholic, he or she can be buried with the Catholic spouse in a Catholic cemetery, Wehner said.

Hinduism:

In the Hindu faith, there is no burial. The bodies are burned.

In India ceremonial customs vary depending on the region, said Atul Trivedi, an area Hindu priest.

And in India, the body is burned in a special ceremony, he said. In the United States, cremation takes place at a funeral home, and the ashes are put in an urn and given to the family, if r equested.

At the ceremony before the cremation, everybody wears white, and the priest offers prayers that the soul finds peace, said Arvind Khetia, an area Hindu.

If possible, the ashes are taken to India to be spread in holy water.

“There is no burial because the soul already has moved out,” he said. “The body is a temple as long as the person is alive.”

In Tana Toraja, weddings and births aren't the social gatherings that knit society together. In this part of Indonesia, big, raucous funerals are at the center of social life. Anthropologist Kelli Swazey takes a look at this culture, in which the bodies of dead relatives are cared for years after they have passed away -- because relationships with loved ones don't simply end when breathing does.
