Funerals and Rites of Passage

Ceremonies and rituals are all about acknowledging. Without formally recognizing a milestone event in life or a significant occasion, our thoughts are reduced to simple personal reflection.

In his book, Rites of Passage, Arnold van Gennep talks about key life events and how they incorporate three pillars: separation, transition and incorporation. Initially, there is separation from the old ways and practices that existed. This is followed by a transition to a new way of thinking and of being, which is subsequently followed by the incorporation of new realities and a new identity.

Rituals, that are included as part of funerals, facilitate this passage for those who mourn. All of the aspects of a funeral… from making preparations, to the elements of the service, the delivering of a eulogy and the expression of condolences… reinforce the way by which individuals come to better understand a new reality without a beloved.

By remembering and by being part of a shared experience through ritual and ceremony, one’s acknowledgement of the passing of a loved one is defined with the support of others rather than in isolation.
