A. Well one could do well to read a Biography of Michaelangelo. Though famous for his work on the Sistine Chapel and his statue of David, what earned Michangelo big bucks were designs for elbaorate tombs for his patron Lorenzo De Medici and for Pope Julius II.. We are not talking about a statue or two & a bit of gold leaf, we are talking about dozens of statues and elaborate detailing!! Many elaborate tombs exist from this time period not only in Italy but also France and England. More care was taken for the Dead then the Living!!! Thus one can find a tie between the Renaissance and Ancient Egypt!! Aside from the burial of prominent rich people whose relatives could afford such elaborate trappings here are links and snippets snce for two… [cont.]

How does a military vet deny having a burial flag?

A. Just because you are a veteran does not mean you will get a military funeral..99 percent of veterans dont get a military funeral..You have to request one. If the people who are tasked with your burial dont know your a veteran then you will not be given any special type of ceremony..

Do TV and film crews use a real grave when filming a burial scene in a cemetery?
Q. I was watching a burial scene on TV. Most of the shots were obviously filmed in a real cemetery somewhere. However, I noticed that the actual interment was shown at close angles, where the buildings around the real cemetery were not visible. It got me wondering if the idea of lowering a fake coffin into a grave was too distasteful and if that part of the scene might have been filmed somewhere else. There was also an aerial shot right over the grave, looking down into it, which would have required a camera on a boom, so I thought that would also be intrusive in a real graveyard.

A. There is no charge for admission to any of the cemeteries in the city. The best known cemetary is Saint Louis # 1, which is close to the French Quarter. A public housing development was built next to it decades ago and that has resulted in some crimes in the cemetary. The incidents are rare - it is NOT a "high crime area" - but they have happened so you should visit Saint Louis # 1 or # 2 with a tour. You would be better going with a tour guide anyway as you will get a lot more out of the visit that way. Saint Louis Cemetary # 3 is well away from the French Quarter in the 3300 block of Esplanade Avenue.

What is the approximate cost of a burial?
Q. What is the approximate cost of viewing a person at a funeral home for 1 day and then shipping them off to Puerto Rico for burial? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Asked by nyclastof9 - Tue Oct 7 09:51:28 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. We had a viewing for my mom, but it was for two days. The 3rd day was the funeral. Then she was cremated, and we buried the ashes on the 4th day. The total was *approx.* $5,000-$6,000 (can't remember exactly, it was 7 years ago). Having a viewing necessitates embalming the deceased which is very costly. One idea is after the viewing, have the deceased cremated. Obviously shipping ashes will be much cheaper than shipping a coffin.

How long on average will a concrete burial vault last underground?

Asked by ohio1973 - Sun Oct 7 10:08:44 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The answer to that can only be determined by what type of vault is is, does it have a polystyrene liner or is plain concrete? A concrete vault (concrete is a porous material) will withstand some years, but none the less be affected by the water and the soil. With that being said, same goes for the casket, if the vault had a plastic liner, the casket is going to last much longer, in a plain concrete vault, the integrity of the casket will be compromised within months.

A. Do the cliffs of Sparta count? All unfit newborns (ones with deformities or weak in nature) were casted aside of a cliff to die. The romans did the same thing. If the father were to decide not to claim his new born child they would cast them to the side of the river to die by starvation. Augustus saw the decline in Roman population and made a law forbiddening celibacy and the young to be unwed. Look into the Mayans and Aztecs. They would lay there sacraficed victims into heaps to let blood run down temples in honor of their gods to bring forth rain and good harvests. The catacombs are interesting for the fact that in Italy Italians would do their best to perserve their deceased. The more money the better perserved.

Asked by Ashley J - Sun Jan 4 01:47:50 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Apostates, heretics, schismatics, the excommunicated, suicides, Freemasons, and public sinners, are not permitted to be buried in a consecrated Catholic cemetery. The refusal of the Church to give Christian burial to her bad children does not mean that she sentences them to damnation: judgment of the dead is in the hands of God. It is merely a public expression of her condemnation of sin, and a disciplinary measure so that her other children may avoid falling into such sins. Non-Catholics are not permitted burial in a Catholic cemetery, because since they did not belong to the Church during life, there is no reason for including them in the burial grounds for members of the Church, at death.

How long can a body be kept viewable between death and burial?
Q. I understand that former President Ford will be viewed up until his burial on January 3rd in Grand Rapids. The public will be viewing his body 8 days after his death. I remember when my Mom passed away on a Tuesday that the Funeral Director told me that to wait until that weekend (4 days) for an open casket funeral was risking her not being presentable. So, we had the funeral on Friday. Has Mortuary Science come that far in the 12 years since - to keep a body presentable 8 days for viewing?
Asked by humility - Fri Dec 29 15:36:06 2006 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Properly prepared, the body can be kept "on display" basically forever (well, at least several decades). This isn't a recent development, though. Lenin and Saint Bernadette, for example, have been on perpetual display since their deaths, and look just about the same now as when they died. Eight days is no big deal. It's all just a question of money and effort. Most of us and our loved ones, however, do not receive such elaborate care upon our demise. For a minimally-prepared body, a few days is still all you can reasonably expect for an acceptable viewing condition.
