Why incense at Buddhist funeral?
Answers
The Buddhist community in the United States varies by location and by ethnic and cultural origins. Some families are likely to incorporate Christian beliefs into their Buddhist funeral rites and traditions, while others may choose to adhere close to strictly Buddhist funeral traditions.
Nevertheless, the general protocol for Buddhist funerals is a simple ceremony that takes place at the family home, a funeral home, or a Buddhist temple. There will be an officiant, usually a monk but sometimes a minister or priest if the family chooses to blend traditions with the Christian faith. There are no formal guidelines, but one can expect prayer and meditation, and possibly sermons and eulogies.
There may be a wake, a funeral, and a memorial service or reception after the funeral. Read on for more details.
