  • Death and Mourning Rituals Fact Sheet
    Workplace FACT SHEET Death and Mourning Rituals This document lays out basic information about the death, funeral rites, and post-death practices of eight major religious traditions, drawing from Tanenbaum’s online resource, Religion at Work. Addi- tionally, this resource has been updated to include anticipated adjustments due to social distancing on death and mourning rituals and their impact on the workplace. This is by no means an exhaus- tive resource, but is intended to offer an introductory overview to this information. Please keep in mind that there is great diversity within and among religious communities, so colleagues may prac- tice and believe in ways that are not covered in this resource. MOURNING & COVID-19 Adjusted Rules: Burials and Cremations Around the world adjustments are being made to centuries old traditions around burial and crematoria practices, across religions. Depending on the country, burials and cremations are required to be conducted within 12 hours of a loved ones’ passing or delayed to a much later date. Some countries are specifying the location of the burial or requiring that remains be picked up only at scheduled times. Practices such as loved ones cleaning the recently deceased body, sharing a shovel to put dirt on the de- ceased’s coffin, and funeral pyres are no longer doable as they used to be. Furthermore, burial or crema- tion options may be even more limited for those already facing economic hardships to then have to man- age and take on an unexpected death and associated costs. Time Off: Delayed Mourning Rituals For many, traditional group gatherings, whether in a home, house of worship, or within the town, are strongly discouraged, both for funerals and mourning practices.
