My father passed away 6 years ago in LA. We went through almost same procedure you mentioned except the cost. The cost for funeral in California is way more expensive than Texas. It was almost $15,000 at that time. Speaking of funeral, cremation is the most common way to treat in Korea because we don't have enough space to bury. We are a small country. Anyway, this video is so good to know different kinds of English terms. Thanks Gary;

My condolences to your wife and family. In Buenos Aires, many people prefer to do cremation and also not to hold a wake. Unfortunately, salaries in Argentina are very low, an average salary is approximately the equivalent of 400 or 500 dollars. That's why we can't afford to pay $7,000 to say goodbye to a loved one. It is usually resolved in 2 days and you don't pay more than 500 dollars for the entire service. Apart from that, I wanted to mention that the quality of the videos and their audio is very good. Unfortunately, some of the interviews you did before didn't have good audio quality. Thanks Profe!

My condolences to you and your wife. The customs here in the Netherlands are not much different, down to the wake and the funeral procession. No police with the funeral procession though, oncoming traffic is simply expected to wait. There is also nothing like a 'repast'. Christians have a funeral service at church, and usually the church bells ring a specific funeral tune. When you're in a town, sometimes you can hear the church bells ringing for a funeral or a wedding. Most people get cremated these days though. Burial plots are extremely expensive or not available, because the country is very small and there is not much land to go around!
