After someone dies, the people who loved and cared for them arrange a funeral.
At a funeral, people talk about and remember the person who died.
This short book says what a funeral is and what might happen at a funeral. The book also says what you can do to remember someone who has died if you do not go to their funeral.
Knowing what to expect at a funeral can help you:
- choose whether to go to the funeral or remember the person in some other way that feels right for you
- feel calmer when you go to the funeral, because you know what might happen.
