My aunt is close to death and the family is getting ready to prepare for the funeral.
What would I expect at a jehovah witness funeral?

I have been to two JW funerals, both from the same family. The first was more of a memorial at the families home, the departed was cremated and left to the family in an average urn.

The second was similar to most other protestant funerals - although it seemed shorter. It started at the funeral home with the viewing, a few words were said by an elder, then the normal procession to the burial site, a few more words said by an elder, burial.

Not much to it.
 
Thanks.
I know the Mass of Christian Burial like that back of my hand so when you go to another church that isnt Catholic for a ceremony like this you want to know what your expecting.
