The burial service in one form or another has been a part of human communities for millennia. If you scan our history, it really doesn’t matter “when” or “where” you look, burial practices can be found. The Burial service can be seen in hundreds of Hollywood films and television productions; some are uplifting, others are humorous; and some merely attempt to convey the emotional weight carried by the characters involved. Because of these cinematic efforts, most are familiar with the appearance and traditional ceremonial format of a burial service.
