Someone once said, “The rise and fall of civilizations hinge on how well we treat the dead.” By that, the author means that we are to recognize the importance of all life and the contributions the deceased has made to family, community, country, and even the world. I am not saying one has to have all the fanfare that we are seeing on television, but one needs to realize that acknowledgment and the need to grieve is very important to mental health and it also teaches our children that life is indeed meaningful and should not be merely tossed to the side. It does not matter who passes away, they are a king or queen in some people’s lives. However, don’t forget the Royals are people, they eat, breathe the same air, have emotions, are devoted to family, etc. Some of you will guffaw and say this is entirely different-the Queen was head of state and most of us do not remember any other monarch, so it is expected that they do this. The funeral allows people to grieve together, comfort each other, and remember why the person who died is so important to them. We all need to take a lesson from this and realize a funeral is not for the person who has died, but for the people left grieving the loss of a very dear loved one or friend. Not only do the British need to see this, but so do the Commonwealth Countries, if not the world. They are out meeting with the people, walking in the motorcade, accompanying their mother from one location to another. The Royals have clearly learned from this. She realized the world was grieving and needed to grieve with them, and that they too needed to grieve with the world. Queen Elizabeth, herself, admitted that they had made a grievous error in judgment by being totally reclusive for ten days when Princess Diana was so tragically taken. Witnessing the throngs of people lining the motorcade as Queen Elizabeth II moves from one location to another, the interaction between the Royals and citizens, the need for visitation, the signing of Memorial Books even in places like Medicine Hat all demonstrate the importance of custom. The death of her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II should clearly demonstrate the need of tradition and ritual of a funeral service.
