  • Funeral & Obituary Planning Booklet
    Funeral & Obituary Planning Booklet FROM THE PASTOR… Cremation or Not Disposition of the bodies of deceased Catholics by means of cremation is a fairly recent development. The 1917 Code of Canon Law forbade the practice, and this prohibition continued until 1963. While making allowance for cremation (as long as it was not chosen as a sign of denial of Christian teaching) the 1963 instruction Piam et Constantem issued by the Holy Office (now the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith) urged that “the practice of burying the bodies of the faithful is by all means to be kept.” This 1963 concession is provided for in the 1969 Ordo Exsequiarum, the Latin edition of the revised Catholic funeral ritual and was later incorporated into the 1983 Code of Canon Law in canon 1176: “The Church earnestly recommends that the pious custom of burying the bodies of the dead be observed; it does not, however, forbid cremation unless it has been chosen for reasons which are contrary to Christian teaching.” The Order of Christian Funerals reflects a theology and a tradition in which burial of the body has been the principal manner of final disposition of the body. The long-standing practice of burying the body of the deceased in a grave or tomb as Jesus, continues to be encouraged as a sign of Christian faith. However, owing to contemporary cultural interaction, the practice of cremation has become part of Catholic practice in the United States and other parts of the western world. Although cremation is now permitted it does not enjoy the same value as burial of the body.

  • The Constitution After Death
    THE CONSTITUTION AFTER DEATH Fred O. Smith, Jr.* From mandating separate and unequal gravesites, to condoning mutilation after lynchings, to engaging in cover-ups after wrongful police shootings, governmental actors have often degraded dignity in death. This Article offers an account of the constitutional law of the dead and takes aim at a legal rule that purports to categorically exclude the dead from constitutional protection. The rule rests on two faulty premises. The first is that the dead are incapable of being rights-holders. The second is that there are no sound policy reasons for recognizing constitutional rights after death. The first premise is undone by a robust common law tradition of protecting the dead’s dignitary interests and testamentary will. As for the second premise, posthumous rights can promote human pursuits by pro- tecting individuals’ memory, enforcing their will, and accommodating their diverse spiritual beliefs. Posthumous legal rights can also foster equality by shielding against the stigma and terror that have historically accompanied the abuse of the dead. The Constitution need not remain silent when governmental actors engage in abusive or unequal treatment in death. Understanding the dead as constitutional rights-holders opens the door to enhanced ac- countability through litigation and congressional enforcement of the Reconstruction Amendments. Beyond that, understanding the dead as rights-holders can influence the narratives that shape our collective legal, * Associate Professor, Emory Law School.

  • Keeping the Culture of Death Alive: One Hundred Years of a Japanese American’S Family Mortuary
    genealogy Article Keeping the Culture of Death Alive: One Hundred Years of a Japanese American’s Family Mortuary Precious Yamaguchi Communication Department, Southern Oregon University, Ashland, OR 97520, USA; [email protected]; Tel.: +1-541-552-6241 Received: 4 May 2017; Accepted: 26 June 2017; Published: 29 June 2017 Abstract: This article explores a Japanese American family mortuary and its 100 years of service and involvement with the Japanese American community in Los Angeles through five generations of the Fukui family. The Fukui Mortuary is Los Angeles’s oldest Japanese American family mortuary and has provided the Japanese American community with services relating to death and bereavement for nearly a century. Through autoethnographic and ethnographic methods, this research examines a site within the Japanese American community after World War II where death, ethnicity, nationality and gender intersect. Studying the cultural and traditional options people have to negotiate, participate and engage in one’s cultural practices during a time of death allows us to investigate the structures of power, economics and institutions that are embedded in our histories and societies. Through the mobilization and service of cultural traditions related to death, the Fukui mortuary contributes to the story of Japanese Americans and how ideas of death, religion, gender and ethnicity are situated in community involvement and the genealogy of the Fukui family. Keywords: Japanese American; hybridity; Asian American; death; bereavement; communication; ethnicity; gender; race; ethnography 1. Introduction Two years into my Communication doctoral degree, my father passed away unexpectedly just as the fall semester began. My mother, brother, myself, and all of my family were devastated to say the least.

  • Some Cultural and Linguistic Functions of Obituaries In
    WHAT WE TALK ABOUT WHEN AND WHERE WE TALK ABOUT DEATH: SOME CULTURAL AND LINGUISTIC FUNCTIONS OF OBITUARIES IN MODERN AMERICAN CULTURE A RESEARCH PAPER SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULLFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE MASTERS OF ARTS BY CRYSTAL D. KIDD DR. ELIZABETH RIDDLE-ADVISOR BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, INDIANA DECEMBER 2011 2 Death is not an option, but writing and publishing an obituary is a choice—a choice that many people still make every day. The reasons behind it are many because published obituaries continue to serve many private and public functions. They announce a death to a community. They extend an invitation to attend a funeral both explicitly and often also implicitly to the general public. They are a permanent public record of a death. They are a commemoration of a life lived and valued as well as a written public rhetorical space for reflecting the personal and social values surrounding death and life within a society‟s mainstream culture. This study will examine how U.S. American mainstream culture writes about death as it occurs every day to ordinary people. Drawing from a number of sources that concern the interconnected fields of sociolinguistics, English language rhetoric and writing, communication studies, as well as my own original research, my primary aim here is to explore questions concerning what the modern, twenty-first century, U.S. obituary reveals about our cultural understanding of death and ways in which the modern obituary format influences how we announce, honor, and say farewell to the individual. Specifically, this paper will address two related areas of inquiry concerning obituaries as cultural and linguistic artifacts.

  • Guide to Writing on Obituary

If you’re in a hurry, skip ahead to the obituary template and example by going straight to item number five. But we recommend at least scanning the numbered obituary writing tips below before you get started. Step-By-Step Guide to Writing an Obituary 1. Grab a copy of your local paper. Most newspapers require obituaries to be written in a specific style, so take a look at your paper when looking for a guideline on how to write an obituary. You also should ask your funeral home if they have templates. If you plan on submitting to other newspapers, try to get a copy, or check to see if they print obituaries online. If you don’t follow the newspaper’s style, they will likely rewrite your obituary, which could introduce errors into the write-up. 2. Set a price limit if you’re on a budget. Most newspapers charge by the column inch, and lengthy tributes can cost hundreds of dollars. Many funeral homes will include a basic obituary as part of the funeral package. If your funeral home will be submitting the obit, ask them what the word limit is, and how much it will cost you for each additional inch.
