Today, funerals are more about celebrating the deceased person's life rather than providing "symbolic communitas" with the bereaved. In your own opinion is this a positive change? Explain your answer.
(85) VerifiedStudent answers will vary.
Positive aspects include: that funerals do give the living an opportunity to mark the passing of a loved one and share their losses with close family and friends. They honour the passing of the life by celebrating and remembering the life that was lived by the deceased and, in doing so, the bereaved spouse can also relive the life that was lived together and shared. This may provide some comfort and help the spouse come to terms with the death.
Negative aspects include: that the strong sense of symbolic communitas and the feeling of being connected to the whole community is lost in funerals today. The lack of emphasis on the religious aspects of the passing of the deceased and sending them on their way to heaven, or God, or whatever their faith determines is an afterlife, sometimes takes away from the luminal time that people need before making the transition to the next stage of their lives. Without the concrete norms that rituals bring, bereaved family members may be ostracized by others who have no ritual way to handle encounters with them and, thus, do not know how to act around the bereaved.
