state funerals  

Definición

  • A state funeral is a public event held in honor of a figure of national significance—most commonly heads of state. There is no legal requirement for a funeral, as burial or cremation can be arranged without any service or congregation, but the continuing popularity of the ceremony is testament to its efficacy as a ritual focus.
