Funerals mark the death of an individual and allow family and friends to remember that person. In many cases, these funerals become costly and elaborate affairs. Funerals come in many forms and can include traditional funerals, graveside ceremonies, cremation, direct cremation or burial and memorial services. These types are chosen depending on economic, cultural or religious factors and are held in places of worship, private homes, funeral homes or other suitable locations.
