Assignment : Chose a culture/ethnicity/religion different from your own and research their funeral and bereavement customs. Write a paper outlining your own beliefs (you will need to do some research here as well. I am sure there are things to learn!), and the beliefs of the culture/ethnicity/religion you researched. Include a paragraph comparing and contrasting the two points of view and a paragraph regarding your personal reaction (what surprised you? Do they have customs/rituals you find interesting?).
