Protestants really do not have rituals for death. They often have a funeral where a minister speaks, someone close to the deceased may say some words ( eulogy )

Answer by  ringneck (394)

There is generally a period of visitation with the survivors, usually at a funeral home. On the day of the funeral there is sometimes a family gathering.

Death rituals in the Christian faiths tend to be more culturally directed than religious. There is usually a wake, a funeral in a house of worship, and a graveside service.

Answer by  martine (860)

Protestants celebrate the life of the person, but the funeral and everything else is held exactly the same as any other christian religion does really. Funeral followed by wake, at the wakes I have been to with the church we discuss all of the great times and celebrate who they were.

I was answering a lot of religious questions since they pay a whopping 3 cents (yes, 3 cents and I am stupid or desperate enough to be doing this) each.

There is usually a visitation for the deceased family. Then the next day or so there is a service. Then they are taken to a cemetery, and burred.
