Ceremony for a person who has died

You ever sit at a Chaldean/Assyrian funeral gathering and feel like something about it just doesn't sit right, even though everybody's there for a good reason? We get into what actually happens in those halls — the way the room splits, the "hired" wailers doing their thing to get people crying, and how the men usually end up talking business or church stuff while the women are on the other side. We discuss the pressure that falls on the women especially, the black clothes, the 40 days, the skipping weddings and celebrations, and how that can turn into something heavier than anyone meant it to be. We also call out the part that's harder to say out loud: how mourning can quietly become a competition, or how family drama and judgment show up right when people are already hurting. And the question that keeps coming back is the one that matters most — where is Jesus in the middle of all of it? If you've ever left one of these and felt like the traditions were running the show more than the actual grief or the faith, this conversation is gonna feel familiar. Featuring: Fr. Christopher Somo, Fr. Andy Younan, Abbot Ankido Sipo, Fr. Daniel Shaba –––

Lopez shares another confession that sends the show into chaos.
Across Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Brittany and beyond, people have long told stories of ghostly hearses, black coaches and funeral processions seen before a death has happened. Sometimes the sound of wheels is heard on an empty road, sometimes mourners pass silently along an old church path, and sometimes a hearse appears in a mirror before vanishing without trace.

‘RIP.ie Romeo' may have gone too far, but he may have been on to something when it comes to romances formed at sad send-offs…Are funerals a good place to find love?Joining Seán to discuss is Deirdre Reynolds, Columnist with the Independent.
This week we dive into one of our favorite indie bands, Civic Green, and we welcome the drummer, Gav to the show!

Our trauma surgeon Dr Stephan Moran says that having motorcycle police escort funeral processions is a bad idea. No cops should lose their lives doing this, but sadly some do every year. We need to stop this.GM and Ford have abandoned sedans, and yet Honda sells many Accords every year, and Toyota sells many Camrys. We want the GM Cavalier and Ford Fusion to return.

Text the Show or Leave a VoicemailWhen I was at the line of duty death funeral of Deputy Elijah Ming, I met officers from all across the midwest, but I also ran into uniformed officers from further away, specifically one officer who traveled all the way from New York City. This was my introduction to Brotherhood for the Fallen, an organization of police officers who send representatives to every funeral of an officer murdered in the line of duty. Today we're talking to Jason Marsman from the New York City chapter of Brotherhood for the Fallen. We're going to talk about the strange mission to attend every police funeral in the country and the surprising gift for the family that these officers bring with them.Brotherhood For the Fallen NYC Chapter: https://www.brotherhoodnyc.orgMusic is by the WesterliesHey Chaplain Bonus Episode 50Tags:Police, Death, Funerals, Honor, Line of Duty Death, Memorials, Morale, NYPD, Travel, Brooklyn, Dallas, Kansas City, New York City, Kansas, New York, TexasSupport the showThanks for Listening!

Text: Genesis 35 Repentance and Renewal (Gen. 35:1-8) God calls Jacob to return to Bethel and renew his faith. Jacob proves his repentance by purifying himself and forsaking the foreign idols of the culture. God's call to return is matched with His protection. Promise and Purpose (Gen. 35:9-15) God reminds Jacob of his true identity and His unchanging character. God reaffirms His covenant promises to Jacob. Jacob responds by offering a sacrifice of worship to the Lord. Funerals, Failure, and Fulfillment (Gen. 35:16-29) Jacob is faced with the deaths of his wife Rachel and his father Isaac. Jacob is confronted with the sinful failure of his son Reuben. Jacob's family is a result of God's fulfilled promises. Main Idea: God is able to bring His people back from failure to a life of renewed faith in His never-failing promises.
In this episode, I talk with longtime funeral professional Bob Arrington. We explore body disposition, funerals, celebrations of life, cremation, and more. What does it mean to “pre-plan,” and why does it matter? How do practices around caring for the dead vary across regions and over time? As Bob says, “We take the time to educate—and the most important time to do that is ahead of time.” Tune in to hear his perspective on how thoughtful conversations in advance can make everything go more smoothly.For more information on Best Life Best Death please visit our website at www.bestlifebestdeath.comFollow us on our social channels to receive pertinent and helpful resources on death, grieving, and more at:Facebook: www.facebook.com/bestlifebestdeathInstagram: www.instagram.com/bestlifebestdeath
Send us Fan MailThis week, CC & Skills reflect on their trip to Tulsa for CC's grandmother's celebration of life and the importance of being prepared for life after death. From insurance policies and final wishes to difficult family conversations, we discuss why planning matters and why so many families avoid talking about it until it's too late.
Rory McGowan sits down with Hugh Longland from the Westerleigh Group to talk about new data his company is publishing where they surveyed over 55s, the constituency most likely to be organising a funeral, about the things that make the process stressful for them, and how to combat those stresses with conversations and prior planning.
John attends a funeral and it's a beautiful reminder that the only thing that matters in life is relationships. He may also have popcorn and malts in his future, and hopes we all have a true friend to share smelling salts with.
Cosmic horror, alien invasion nightmares, interdimensional warfare, occult terror, time-travel chaos, and apocalypse-driven weird fiction crash together in this wildly twisted Weekly Spooky compilation. If you love reality-breaking horror stories, ancient evil, multiverse destruction, cult books, and strange creatures from beyond human understanding, this collection delivers a full dose of bizarre, blood-soaked nightmare fuel.Tonight's lineup moves from a New Year's Eve time-rip disaster into a funeral where killer clowns play by rules all their own, then into a last-ditch battle to stop multiversal annihilation, and finally down a rain-slick spiral of crime, occult corruption, and a monster born from something that should have stayed buried. This one leans hard into weird horror: the kind where reality starts slipping, the rules stop making sense, and survival suddenly feels like a temporary condition.• Saint Jimmy — by Dan WilderA freak sound-based time-rip sends Jimmy hurtling through alternate timelines, self-inflicted paradoxes, and one gloriously deranged Y2K nightmare ruled by a leather-clad tyrant and his skeletal minions. It's funny, chaotic, weird as hell, and loaded with sci-fi panic and end-of-the-world absurdity. • The Fun in Funerals — by David O'HanlonA dead clown's funeral becomes a grotesque midnight hunt when the mourners must satisfy an ancient code or face the return of something far worse than death. This one is savage, darkly funny, and drenched in monstrous carnival energy. • Last Stand — by Rob FieldsWith Hellweaver closing in on the Infinity Core and the Reality Sphere in her grasp, the last heroes of the Battleguard gather for a doomed, universe-saving final battle. This is pure multiverse sci-fi horror spectacle with cosmic stakes and relentless devastation. • The Last Days of Jimmy Flavor — by David O'HanlonA drifting burnout reinvents himself as “Jimmy Flavor” and gets pulled into a Vatican-backed theft, an occult conspiracy, and a nightmare pursuit involving ancient books, cult magic, and a gut-churning creature that refuses to stop hunting. Mean, strange, and desperate in all the right ways. From torn-open timelines to infernal artifacts, undead clown law, and the collapse of whole realities, this compilation is all about staring into the impossible and realizing it is staring right back.
Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. We are about to begin our next study, and we are moving into the Old Testament. We will begin with the book of Hosea. Hosea shows us a God who refuses to let his people go—even when they run from him. This means it is time to get your next Scripture Journal from our website for this study. If you are a Project23 partner giving $35/month or more, we have already sent this to you in the mail. Our shout-out today goes to Kevin O'Neil from Prior Lake, MN. Thanks for your partnership in Project23. Our text today is 1 Corinthians 15:54-58. When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: "Death is swallowed up in victory." "O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?" The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain. — 1 Corinthians 15:54-58 Paul, still speaking about the critical nature of the resurrection, now narrows his focus to one unavoidable reality. "Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God." This present body—weak, aging, perishable—cannot enter eternity as it is. Paul now brings the chapter to its triumphant close. "When the perishable puts on the imperishable... 'Death is swallowed up in victory.'" (This is from the book of Hosea, which is our next book of the Bible). This is prophetic fulfillment. Isaiah anticipated it. Hosea echoed it. Paul preached it. We need to remember it. In the resurrection of Jesus, our victory has already begun. Then Paul dares to taunt the grave: "O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?" Death may feel powerful. Funerals still bring emotional aches. Bodies still return to dust. But for those in Christ, stinger of the scorpion of sin is simply a reminder of the day the sting and death are gone. This is because sin incurs judgment defeated by the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Christ bore the penalty for sin and its sting. He fulfilled the law. He rose in triumph. So death no longer holds final authority over those who belong to him. "Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." And we are called to faithful obedience because of this hope. DO THIS: Choose one act of faithful obedience you have been postponing. Do it this week—not because you feel strong, but because Christ is risen. ASK THIS: Do I live like death still has the final word? Where has fear weakened my faithfulness? Am I abounding in the Lord's work—or retreating under pressure? PRAY THIS: Lord, thank you for victory through Jesus Christ. Make me steadfast when I grow weary. Fix my eyes on the risen Christ so I labor with courage, knowing my work in you is not in vain. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Before the Throne of God Above"
Send us Fan MailThe boys break down a massive week in Pittsburgh, starting with the NFL Draft shattering records with over 800,000 people in attendance and authorities cracking down on counterfeit merch. They dive into the Steelers' full draft class, give their takes on the new additions, and hit on the Penguins clawing back in their playoff series. The Pittsburgh Scanner delivers classic chaos — including a suspect running face-first into a pole mid-chase, some risky train-hopping activity, and two grown men allegedly squaring up with a group of 10-year-olds… only for everyone to admit it was just “play fighting.”Corndick of the Week brings the madness with a lawsuit from the PNC Park belt-whipping incident, a groom showing up to his wedding in a full Adidas tracksuit, and a woman using AI to bring her late husband back as a hologram for his own funeral. Brother in Arms gets even wilder with Mike Tomlin heading to NBC and dropping classic Tomlin-isms, and the debut of the “Sperm Racing World Cup” — a full-blown bracket-style competition for microscopic swimmers with a $100K prize.

In 1996, hiking partners Julie Williams and Lollie Winans set out into Virginia's Shenandoah National Park for a quiet camping trip and were found days later, murdered at their secluded campsite. Their throats had been cut, their dog was left alive, and there was no clear sign of who had slipped into the forest to kill them or why. Decades on, the case remains officially unsolved, haunted by questions about hate crime, investigative missteps, and whether a killer walked back out of those trees completely unseen.

1. DescriptionWhat Do You Do When Doubt Is Louder Than Faith?We've all been there — the moment when life doesn't go the way you prayed it would, and your doubts start drowning out your faith. In this message, we explore what it truly means to wrestle with God and still hold on.Drawing from the Old Testament prophet Habakkuk, we uncover a third option beyond either denying your faith or burying your questions: you can doubt and keep seeking God. Habakkuk's name literally means "to wrestle and to embrace" — and that tension is exactly what authentic faith looks like.In this message, you'll discover:Why doubt doesn't make you a bad Christian — it makes you humanHow honest, raw prayer can actually deepen your relationship with GodWhat Habakkuk's journey from wondering → waiting → trusting teaches us about holding on through the hardest seasonsWhy God would rather have you yell at Him than walk away from HimHow wrestling with God changes the way you walk — just ask JacobWhether you're in a hospital room, grieving a loss, questioning why God hasn't answered your prayers, or simply feeling like life's rounds are breaking you down — this message is for you.Doubt isn't the enemy of faith. It's often the pathway to a deeper, more meaningful one.Part of the series: The Benefit of Doubt, based on the book by Craig Groeschel.2.

249 In this unscripted weekend episode of Tailoring Talk Magazine, Roberto and Jon somehow manage to go from a countryside bike ride to Project Hail Mary, from Apple launch queues to Greek Cypriot funerals, and from cinema etiquette to whether phones are quietly ruining modern life.Jon joins the call mid-cycle, complete with wind noise, hills, passing horses and the kind of rural soundtrack that makes it sound like he's broadcasting from Victorian England. From there, the conversation turns to Project Hail Mary, why Ryan Gosling feels like perfect casting, why the film works so well on a second viewing and why some stories really do deserve to be seen in the cinema.Roberto then shares a very Apple story about how queuing for the iPad 2 at Brent Cross led to one of his closest friendships, before the episode takes a sharp turn into funeral etiquette, what happens when you trust the wrong person's dress code advice and why arriving at a very formal funeral dressed for a “memorial” is the sort of nightmare Richard Curtis would have written for Hugh Grant.The main rant of the episode is all about phones. Phones at funerals. Phones at concerts. Phones in cinemas. Phones in restaurants. Phones at breakfast in five-star hotels when your partner is sitting right in front of you and you're still staring into the glowing rectangle like a socially useless meerkat.There's also talk of Jack White's phoneless shows, the lost art of being present, whether phone use will one day become as socially frowned upon as smoking, old-school texting, T9 keyboards, Jon's restaurant phone-stack rule and why your terrible low-light food photo is never going to beat the restaurant's own Instagram shot.Also in the mix: Michael, Godzilla, trailers that give away too much and why a 30-second teaser is often more powerful than a three-minute plot summary.In This EpisodeRoberto and Jon discuss:Project Hail Mary and why it's already worth watching againRyan Gosling's performance and the emotional heart of the filmThe strange magic of Apple launch queuesHow the iPad 2 launch accidentally created a lifelong friendshipWhy Roberto ended up accidentally underdressed at a very formal funeralThe problem with phones ringing during serious momentsConcert phone bans and whether they make the experience betterCinema etiquette and why people can't seem to sit still anymorePhones in restaurants and the death of basic table mannersThe phone-stack rule and why the first person to touch their phone should pay the billOld-school mobiles, expensive text messages and the pain of pre-T9 typingWhy modern trailers reveal far too muchMichael, Godzilla and upcoming cinema chat Hosted on Acast.

CrowdScience listeners Dougie and Molly have been wondering what happens to animals when they die, and whether there are animals that hold rituals to mark the passing of one of their kin. Presenter Caroline Steel is on the case, trying to work out what happens to the bodies of animals when they die. Dougie and Molly say they rarely see animal carcasses where they live - so where do they all go? Dr Sarah Perkins of Cardiff University in the UK runs a research project called Roadlab, which logs how quickly the bodies of animals killed by traffic disappear, and she thinks she might have a clue. Caroline joins her on a hunt through the undergrowth for animals, and answers. And when animals lose a member of their flock, herd or school, do they indulge in rituals that look anything like a funeral? Caroline meets Dr Kaeli Swift, an ecologist at the University of Washington in the US, who has some surprising evidence from her research into bereaved crows. Meanhile, in Botswana, Mathale ‘Metal' Mosheti is a safari guide in Chobe National Park. The African Savannah Elephants there demonstrate some remarkable behaviour when another elephant dies. But do animals really grieve for their loved ones? Dr Barbara J. King, Emerita Professor of Anthropology at William & Mary University in the US, has some ideas. But is it enough to answer Dougie and Molly's question? Presenter: Caroline Steel Producer: Tom Bonnett Editor: Ben Motley(Photo: Little red sick bird canary inside a wheelbarrow pushed by a lizard.

The hosts open with jokes and weekend recaps, including dates, grilling, cleaning, and taking kids to Dave & Buster's, before discussing how social media and good weather create pressure to go out. They reflect on attending funerals, how Black communities try to celebrate life, and how extended family traditions and reunions are fading, leading many to “make” their own family while navigating tense relatives.

What made the American funeral industry what it is today? Why do we embalm? How do societal status & funeral styles overlap? Gary Laderman, PhD, is the Goodrich C. White Prof of Amer Religious History & Cultures at Emory University in Georgia, the author of multiple books & featured on The Mortician: an HBO documentary covering a 1980s funeral home who exploited grieving families. In this episode, you'll hear how funeral rituals went from DIY to the elaborate & long list of menu options today, how those options supported or detracted from family status, the spooky status of the death worker themselves, how embalming changed everything (hello capitalism!) & the growing resistance towards the commodification of death If you liked this episode, you'll also like episode 278: MORBID OR SACRED?

Irish funerals and wakes are one of the more famous aspects of our culture. Often taking the form of a celebration, it has been said we do death well. However the modern Irish funeral is not the timeless tradition we often imagine. In this episode of the Irish History Podcast I explore the strange history of Irish funerals and the lost world of 19th-century death customs.Drawing on folklore and first-hand accounts, I explore the history behind the banshee (bean sí) and other less well known death omens. I also trace the strange and unsettling rituals, superstitions and wake traditions that once surrounded death in Ireland - customs that can be difficult to relate to today.From the banshee to the grave, this is a journey into a lost world of grief, ritual and belief.Written, researched, and presented by Fin DwyerSound: Kate DunleaVoice Actors: Aidan Crowe and Therese MurrayIf you want to learn more about wakes, check out this episode recorded in the Irish Wake Museum https://shows.acast.com/irishhistory/episodes/the-irish-wake-a-historySources* Patricia Lysaght, The Banshee: The Irish Death-Messenger https://archive.org/details/bansheeirishdeat0000lysa* St. John Seymour, True Irish Ghost Stories https://archive.org/details/trueirishghostst00seymialaDuchas.ie, the National Folklore Archivehttps://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes/4602737/4599804/4634242https://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes/4427971/4362341/4466724https://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes/4649683/4646384/4650807https://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes/4427866/4351921/4435336https://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes/4649683/4646384/4650807https://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes/4758475/4747226/4779806https://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes/5008831/4959379/5072669https://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes/4623003/4622767/4630843https://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes/4742070/4732588/4819790https://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes/4922035/4920905/4955848https://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes/4922258/4864961/5021036https://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes/4706331/4703491/4726094 Hosted on Acast.

Dawn Friedman hosts the Tell Me It Will Be Okay podcast and interviews therapist and adult and child psychiatrist Dr. Elena Lister about her book Giving Hope: Conversations with Children about Illness, Death and Loss (co-written with Michael Schwartzman and Lindsay Tate). Lister explains that asking children about difficult subjects—including death and suicidal feelings—doesn't “put ideas in their head,” but builds trust and opens communication, noting kids already think about these topics through experiences like Disney movies, nature, and news events. She emphasizes caregivers being grounded and “steady and sturdy,” using delaying or revisiting conversations when needed, admitting mistakes, and allowing children to set pace while keeping doors open. Lister shares her family's experience when her daughter Liza was dying, discusses talking about uncertainty and differing beliefs about afterlife, offers guidance on cremation and funerals, and highlights that mentionable is manageable.00:00 Welcome and Guest02:55 Fear of Saying It05:53 Disney and Death07:42 Start Before Loss10:50 Grounded Parent Mindset12:43 Deer in Headlights15:42 Good Enough Parenting16:44 Classroom Disclosure Story23:24 Anger and Humanity26:55 Distress Tolerance Check30:19 Death in the News35:00 Living With Mortality37:05 Aging and Nature37:58 Afterlife Questions40:26 Family Beliefs Clash42:02 Living With Uncertainty43:01 Grief Work Origin Story45:25 Schools Can Talk47:47 Let Kids Set Pace53:41 Child Life Support55:47 Cremation Explained57:55 Funerals and Rituals01:02:09 Preparing Kids for Loss01:05:46 Final Thanks and WrapWebsite: Elena Lister MDGiving Hope by Elena Lister MD, Michael Schwartzman PhD with Lindsey Tate (affiliate link on Bookshop)A Short Good Life by Philip Lister MD (affiliate link on Bookshop)

Former President Barack Obama has a tendency to turn funeral eulogies into political messages. It's not just Obama either. The Democrat party as a whole tends to attack President Donald Trump and promote Democratic policy positions whenever there's an opportunity, explains Victor Davis Hanson in today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “The Democrats have a long history of using the venue of the funeral memorial service to hijack it and use it for political purposes… In 2002, they did that with the late Sen. Paul Wellstone. What should have been a memorial service turned into a four-hour campaign harangue.”(00:00) Funerals as Politics (02:12) McCain Funeral Flashback (03:38) John Lewis and Voting Agenda (05:24) Jesse Jackson and Hypocrisy Claims (09:47) Bigger Picture and Sign Off

Loss and rejuvenation. Ramesses third decade in power was a time of death. The King's Great Wife Nefertari passed around year 25. Almost simultaneously, his mother Tuya, his second wife Iset-Nofret, and his eldest son Amun-her-khopeshef all passed to the west. We meet these figures, explore their tombs (including the amazing KV5), and trace their surprising legacies. Then, we recount the big event: in Year 30, Ramesses celebrated the first of his jubilees.
