A funeral is a ceremony marking a person's death. Funerary customs comprise the complex of beliefs and practices used by a culture to remember the dead, from the funeral itself, to various monuments, prayers, and rituals undertaken in their honour. These customs vary widely between cultures, and between religious affiliations within cultures. In some cultures the dead are venerated; this is commonly called ancestor worship. The word funeral comes from the Latin funus, which had a variety of meanings, including the corpse and the funerary rites themselves.

Funeral rites are as old as the human culture itself, predating modern homo sapiens, to at least 300,000 years ago. For example, in the Shanidar cave in Iraq, in Pontnewydd Cave in Wales and other sites across Europe and the Near East, Neanderthal skeletons have been discovered with a characteristic layer of pollen, which suggests that Neanderthals buried the dead with gifts of flowers. This has been interpreted as suggesting that Neanderthals believed in an afterlife.

A. This one actually has the name funeral in it! Funeral Potatoes (serves 16) 1 24-ounce bag frozen shredded (not diced!) hash brown potatoes, thawed 2 cans cream of chicken soup 2 cups sour cream* 1 cup grated cheddar* one-half cup plus 2 T. melted butter* one-third cup chopped onion 2 cups crushed cornflakes salt to taste Combine 2 T. melted butter and cornflakes. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Blend well. Pour potato mixture in a large oblong pan. Sprinkle crushed cornflake mixture on top and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Serve hot. Do not use low-fat versions of these ingredients. Low-fat sour cream and cheddar will not melt, and margarine has water in it.

A. Contact an established local florist in your area. The florist would have several books on funeral flowers and could either sell you some of their books or give you a good source of where to secure one. Also, look for the nearest Floral Syndicate store, or a First Distributor - these are wholesalers for florists - they have books on sympathy flowers by John Henry. The books show the flowers in the funeral home setting, so you could get ideas on decorating your funeral home.

Anyone know how you report paid off funeral time when filing for unemployment?
Q. My husband is filing unemployment for a reduction of working hours, sometimes he doesn't get any hours for a whole week and sometimes just gets scheduled anywhere from 4-12 hrs when normally works 20 per week. He was off for 3 days for funeral time and I am not sure how to report it, it certainly not vacation or holiday time. Please advise if anyone knows. Thanks for your help!!! Tax lady, Do you report it as wages then? How do you let them know it is funeral pay? Thanks.

A. He can call an 800 number and talk to a representative. If he has trouble getting through,he can either e-mail or send a letter to the benefits division. The e-mail address should be on the state dept. of labor web site. It may take a day or 2 to get a response by e-mail,snail mail will depend on the post office. He will probably have to claim the funeral leave pay against his unemployment benefit. Since it is not a regular income,he may not have to claim it. Generally,you have to report any income earned during the week claimed,even if you didn't get paid that week.
