Psychology5 CardsCreated 3 months ago

Veteran’s Organizations provide funeral rites that are non-sectarian and resemble military services, but are usually simpler and conducted by smaller groups. The ceremonies may be adapted based on the deceased's religious beliefs.

  • Non sectarian and similar to the Military funeral.

  • May vary depending on religious beliefs of deceased.

  • Will often be conducted with a much smaller detail than the Military funeral (sometimes as few as 3 or 4 people conducting the service).
