What is the etiquette for condolences?
Funeral is very important in our national culture. It is a ceremony for holding a funeral, allowing the deceased to have a home, and the living to have mourning and other related matters. Condolence is a ceremony for the living to have mourning and other related matters. The ancient condolence etiquette and its attention, but now in the city, the condolence ceremony has been greatly simplified, mainly to bid farewell to the body and hold a memorial service. Those who come to mourn are dressed in plain clothes, wearing white flowers and black gauze, bowing one by one to the corpse in the sound of mourning music, and then paying tribute to the corpse around the corpse. The mourner can say some short words of condolence to the main relatives of the deceased, such as “Please take care”, “I hope you have condolences”, “Pay attention to your body”, etc., to console the bereaved family. By the way, take care of your health.
Condolence
1. Principles to be observed in condolence:
Punctuality – you can arrive in advance and wait
solemn – keep a serious attitude and expression
2. Etiquette of condolence
1. It is not advisable to call for condolence.
2. You are not allowed to wear colorful clothing to attend the funeral.
3. Making noise or leaving the scene halfway is disrespectful to the deceased and their families.
When you go to condolence in person, be sure to remember to bring your gifts and greetings, and be sure to send different gifts according to the situation. Those old people passed away quietly because of “old age”. This situation is beyond anyone’s control, so this kind of grief will be alleviated. Others are “mourning”, these deaths are generally caused by accidents, such as car accidents, diseases, etc. In short, they died at a very young age, which is the most sad.
However, mourning is always a sad thing. When mourning, you should show your sadness and say something to comfort the person involved. Caring and comfort are necessary for the relatives of the deceased. Some excessive actions such as wailing should be avoided, and attention should also be paid to the wording. As a condolence, it can generally be said, “This incident really makes me sad, please forgive me by the way.” “This incident is too sudden. I sincerely express my condolences. Please take care of your health.”
It is taboo to use words reminiscent of misfortune such as “death” and “miserable” during funerals; the funeral venue is solemn, and the words of the mourners should be restrained. Laughing and laughing are all disrespectful to the deceased and their families. Only by speaking in a low voice and behaving gently and steadily can you show your sincerity and demeanor. The solemn and painful atmosphere of the funeral itself requires people to be extra cautious in their words and deeds. If they don’t pay attention to the details, they may cause physical and mental harm to the families of the deceased, so they must not be slack.
So what is the most appropriate way to attend a funeral? In a word: Be careful with your words and deeds. Here are some rules you should keep in mind: When attending funerals or condolences, both men and women should wear dark clothing such as black and blue. Men can wear white or dark shirts inside. Women should not apply lipstick, do not wear bright scarves, and try to avoid wearing accessories. If necessary, consider white pearls or plain jewelry, and avoid wearing gold.
3. Choice of gifts for condolences. Next, let’s talk about which gifts to choose when attending a funeral, and what are the details?
