All clothing including underwear and shoes. Is it because where a dead person goes they have no new clothing to wear? Is it so the dead person will look good when that person crosses over to the other side and meets his/her family and friends?

They don't.  Most families pick their favorite outfit to bury them in not something new.  I don't believe they put shoes on them either.

because death or bein dead is part of the unknown. people generally dislike unfamiliar circumstances i.e death. im scared of death, partially becuase im scared of how it will happen, but also becuase we dont 'really' know what happens after death till it happens. im not religious.. but who knows? no1.

You do not have to wear black, although that is the recognized color for mourning.  Dressing in a somber manner is best suited for a memorial service.

Having respect for people that we love. Also respect for people that can not protect themselves. How would you feel if someone close to you had passed and their remains not respected? I'm sure you would be concerned as well. Are you aware that in a mortuary that from beginning to end the up most respect is used for the deceased?

Try to follow the tradition of the deceased's religion. It shows your respect for him or her. You might go and combine both colors carefully - e.g. your color of mourning is black, their color is white, wear something white with black accents.

Death of a person should be a joyous occasion because hopefully the person is going to a better live.  Being in the presence of God.  We cry because we'll miss the person and have great memories of them.  Funerals are homegoing celebrations.

There was a person who complained and whined about having no shoes. \n\nUntil they met a person, who had no feet.\n\nThanksgiving is a day for being thankful for what you have, not for feeling sorry for yourself for what you do not have. \n\nI have a feeling your question backfired on you.  \n\nDarryl S.

Try mainly tents, conex containers or in vehicles.\n\nOf course they wear dog tags. There are two on the chain. One of them is on a shorter chain around the one that goes around your neck and has the other tag.  The one on the short chain is pulled off if you are killed and turned in for record keeping. The other one, if possible, is placed edgewise between you two upper front teeth and lower front teeth, then your jaw is given a kick to wedge it in. That is so the remains can be identified later if they must be buried in the field, left in the field, etc. etc.

Funerals, they say, are not for the dead; they are for the living. To take two extreme examples, if someone dies and the only people at the funeral are his children, they are going to wonder if he alienated all of his friends, golf buddies, co-workers, etc.\n\nIf, to go the other way, so many people show up they have to have the services in a high school gym, and 40 people line up to say a little something about how he made their lives richer, the family and close friends are going to feel like he didn't live in vain.\n\nSo, it is a combination of how close you were to the dead person, and how well you know his family. If your best friend's mother died, you might go even if you only knew her slightly.

The dead do not come back and visit us.  They may be feeling spirits, but it's not their departed relatives.  It is demonic and is meant to lure you into false teaching.  Don't believe it.\n\nLuke 16:19-31 tells it well.  When Jesus used parables, He did not use names for the people in the story.  This is a true account and not a parable.  The man wanted to come back and couldn't.  If people could come back, they would only be declaring the Gospel I believe.

I get the impression that some people get their undergarments in a wad about it, and yet most people can't resist the fun. Like a forbidden fruit.\n\nHalloween is for embracing our fears, and looking directly at them, and even walking around in their shoes, so that they lose the power to frighten us. It's 'enlightenment' - taking the darkness and bringing it to light.\n\nIt's a celebration of victory over fear and death, of hope of an afterlife.

I think it's kind of weird really.  That's his flesh and blood.  Maybe I could see it if she had died or something  (god forbid) but if she's still alive it seems weird.  Just carry a pic or something.  No permanent gesture is in order, IMO.

Well, I think sometimes there are more made and some made bigger. Also, I believe that after a few hundred years, when so many people have died, they just re-use the graves. There are a lot of reserved graves in cemetaries. Still quite a few spaces left. Lots of people get cremated so they take up less space and often, people choose to be buried in the same grave as a loved one, sometimes more than one.

Because back in the old days people would sometimes "pass out" and as a result be buried alive. When they realized that people were being buried alive they started waiting three days to see if the person was really dead of if they would "wake" up

I would guess No...\n\nThis is because once your dead, your tissues, muscles, nerves , and organs aren't functioning.\n\nThis could be true if it were a couple seconds after his death... because it would be closely remniscent to a story where someones head got chopped off, andd he could see his own body from the ground. And that is a true stroy since your nerves in your head continue to funmction for a couple of seconds more...\n\n~LG23~

Dead people cannot answer you.

Well, the "in between" are still dead, but yes, there are souls that don't know they're dead.  This happens primarily when a person dies a tragic death, e.g. in an accident.  Sometimes, when they don't want to go to the Light, because they feel they have something to take care of, they will also be Earth-bound.\nIt has been reported that on occasion, a spirit could drain a person's energy, but that is also true for the living.\nSpirits see both, dead and alive.  You can't guarantee anything, including what you will WILL yourself to do after your body dies.
