REST IN PEACE: THERE'S NOTHING SIMPLE ABOUT FUNERALS -- "Many people are surprised to find there's a lot involved in arranging a 'simple' funeral. They're often even more surprised to find cemetery costs are completely separate from funeral home service charges....A funeral can be arranged 'with visitation, without visitation, with casket open or closed, or we can have a memorial only with no body present--to mention only a few options.'" (TORONTO STAR) This article examines the various factors to be taken into consideration when planning a funeral. REST IN PEACE: THE TURN TO URNS -- "To bury or not to bury: That is the question some 81,000 bereaved Ontario families will face this year. Cremation is fast becoming the exit route of choice in Canada as a groiwng number of people in our secular society feel more comfortable with a small urn and a memorial service rather than a traditional church funeral and burial in the ground. Also, since the Roman Catholic Church allowed cremation for its followers in 1963, more of the population has been able to opt for cremation." (TORONTO STAR) This article examines the growing popularity of cremation in Ontario and provides "fast facts on handling 'cremains'.". REST IN PEACE: MEMORIAL SERVICES OFFER COMFORT -- "silent vigils help mourners realize they're not alone." (TORONTO STAR) This article focuses on memorial services and relays that for many, the cermonies play an integral role in the grieving process. REST IN PEACE: MOURNERS APPRECIATE RESPECT FOR THEIR FAITH -- "Every religion comes with its own convictions and traditions. Some are restrictive, while others are specific in what should, and should not, be done when it comes to dealing with death." (TORONTO STAR) This article examines death from a multicultural perspective and reviews the funeral practices of various religions. REST IN PEACE: DON'T OVERPROTECT CHILDREN FROM DEATH -- This article maintains that children should be exposed to death rather than protected from it. The author contends that adults must "give them a chance to express their fellings" (TORONTO STAR) as learning how and when to grieve is a normal part iof the human development process. REST IN PEACE: AN OPEN CASKET DURING VISITATION CAN HELP BRING... "It's one of the most delicate decisions when someone dies and funeral arrangements have to be sorted out. Should the casket be open or shut during visiting at the funeral home?" (TORONTO STAR) This article debates whether or not "an open casket helps bring closure to death.".
