New Jersey Funeral Facilities

The primary function of a funeral in ancient times was to preserve the deceased persons physical appearance for long enough that the person could cross-over to the land of the dead and easily recognize their own body and be reunited with it. Death was treated as just another step in life but was not by any means regarded as ‘the end of life’. Ancient Egyptians believed strongly in the afterlife and in eternal life, which is why they insisted on preserving the physical being for as long as possible.
