[quote=Anonymous]Im Hindu. The first funeral. Went to was my moms. It was her wish to follow the tradition. I had to dress her body with help from the funeral home staff. My brother and I had to throw flowers on her body, sprinkle holy water, etc. then push her casket into the fire… it was surreal. She had actually wanted my young kids to come, but i kept them home. It wasnt easy by any means, but the ritual did give me a clear sense that my mom was not her body— her soul was free. It was a sense of closure.[/quote]
