| Jehovah's Witnesses Deathfuneral Help ... my friend just called and Told Me That She lost co-worker. Obviously she's very upset and WAS Trying to think of What to do for the Family, Who are Jehovah's Witnesses. Sad to say, Neither of Us Know Much About the religion, so we are not sure if There Are Any rituals (or taboos) she "should know of. (We Are Both Protestants.) The last thing she wants to DO IS BE Inappropriate gold insulting. Aside from visiting The Family (or calling to check in on 'em), What Should she do, ie, food, flowers, relgious card, etc.Aside from The Usual, Is There Anything In Particular she "should know about At The funeral ettiquette? CommentsDevorah Dentel says... Jehovah's Witnesses have no particular rituals associated with funerals or burials. Relatively few funeral customs common in the United States are rejected by Jehovah's Witnesses. Flowers, food, practical assistance, and expressions of sympathy by Witness and non-Witness family, friends, and acquaintances are all welcomed by Jehovah's Witnesses. Any comforting passage from the bible is entirely appropriate. It is perfectly acceptable to remark or write that the deceased will 'rest in peace' or 'find peace in the hereafter' or be 'remembered by God'. Religious cards sometimes reflect ideas which Jehovah's Witnesses believe conflict with the bible. For example, avoid ideas which imply that death is "natural" or that the deceased is in heaven. Witnesses believe that the vast majority of deceased persons are metaphorically "asleep" in God's memory and will be resurrected sometime after Armageddon. Terms such as "hereafter" and "paradise" and "afterlife" are not in themselves disagreeable to Jehovah's Witnesses (even if they do view such terms differently than a non-Witness may have intended). They do not display crosses or other icons (but understand that those who attend a wake or funeral may choose to wear these on their persons). Witnesses do not connect angels with death. Witnesses will not agree with those who suggest that the deceased was "taken" or "called" by God, or that his death was God's will or part of God's plan. Witness funerals do not generally eulogize the deceased, but a few families may do so. If you plan to attend, the funeral talk is generally only ten minutes or so, and it is a great sign of respect to bring a bible and follow along with the handful of Scriptures the speaker reads. The funeral speaker tries to include the favorite Scriptures of the deceased. Attire and accessories should be subdued, but black is not required.
