Today, people all over the world commemorate their loved ones with ceremonies that reflect their religious or cultural attitudes toward death.

Therefore, it is equally important to not only find the time to pay your respects, but to stay in touch with the bereaved afterwards as well. It is very important to reassure the bereaved that no matter what, there are people who care about them and about the deceased. Remember this: "A simple hug or handshake will show them that you care; They'll appreciate a memory, if a short one you can share; But as much as any one thing you give a grieving friend, its your patient gift of listening he'll remember in the end."
