๐Funeral Traditions in the US
๋ฏธ๊ตญ์ ์ฅ๋ก ์ ํต
Since America is a multicultural country, our funeral traditions vary widely. That being said, we do have some customs that most people follow. First of all, after someone passes away, we typically have a visitation or viewing at a funeral home. Usually, about one week after they pass, we display their body in a casket at the funeral home. Depending on the family, the casket may be open or closed.

People can stop by and say their good-byes. After the viewing, a funeral service takes place. For some people, the funeral will also take place at the funeral home, but for others it will take place at a church. This is a time for people to give speeches, offer prayers, and sing songs.

Following the funeral, there is usually a burial at the graveyard. People follow the casket to the graveyard in what is known as a funeral procession. Once there, a pastor may say a few more words about the deceased and then they lower the body into the ground. This tradition has changed a bit as more people are being cremated.

After the burial, close family and friends gather at the deceasedโs familyโs home for snacks and drinks. People share stories about the one who has passed away. In the following weeks, friends and family members often drop off food for the family so they donโt have to worry about cooking during this difficult time. Typically, families who are in mourning wear black.
