'''Funeral''' is a ceremony connected with the final disposition of a corpse, such as a burial or cremation, with the attendant observances. Funerals can vary widely in ritual and protocol depending on culture, religion, and personal preference.

==Cultural Practices==
In many cultures, the family will often hold a viewing prior to the funeral. The body is traditionally dressed in the decedent's best clothes. In recent times there has been more variation in what the decedent is dressed in – some people choose to be dressed in clothing more reflective of how they dressed in life.

==Religious Practices==
Different religions have different customs for funerals. For example, in [[Christianity]], a funeral is typically a time of mourning and celebration of the deceased's life. In [[Islam]], funerals are very somber affairs, and are considered a religious duty.

==Funeral Services==
Funeral services can vary widely, but they often include readings from scripture or literature, hymns or other types of music, prayers, and eulogies or remembrances of the deceased.

==Burial and Cremation==
The two most common methods of disposition of the body are [[burial]] and [[cremation]]. Burial is the act of placing the corpse into the ground, usually in a [[cemetery]]. Cremation is the process of reducing the body to ashes and bone fragments through the application of intense heat.

==Funeral Industry==
The funeral industry includes businesses that provide services related to the death of a person, such as funeral homes, cemeteries, and crematories. The industry also includes companies that manufacture products used in funerals, such as caskets and urns.
