What Happens After a Death?

We put so much is pinned on that funeral, af the saying good bye to the body. But actually it's what happens after that that's really, really importantadthasat least in the white anglo saxon protestant there is a very limited social support network. People don't live in these kind of ideal communities any more where people are in and out of each other's houses. And if you could build in rituals or gatherings the body has gone, how wonderful that could be!
