“…This rite is carried out with clear grounds and arguments so that it becomes a belief among the community, both normatively (religiously) and practically. (Van Gennep, 2019) (Ghosh & Bk, 2022).…”

This research explores the values of character education in post-death traditions in Indonesia. Post-death traditions play an important role in Indonesian culture and often reflect deep social values, ethics, and beliefs. This research involves an in-depth analysis of post-death traditions, including funeral ceremonies, memorial rituals, and related practices. The research method used in this research is library research and analysis of documents related to post-death traditions. It is hoped that the results of this research will provide a deeper understanding of the role of education in post-mortem traditions and how these values can be integrated into the context of formal education in Indonesia. The findings of this research can provide new insights into how education and culture are interrelated, as well as how local traditions can contribute to the sustainable development of education in Indonesia. The character education values in the post-death ceremony tradition include religious, familial, and educational values. Educational values include Religiosity, communicativeness, collaboration (cooperation), responsibility, and social concern.

“…Due to the pandemic, families now confront new difficulties like social isolation by physical separation ( Coller & Webber, 2020 ). In their article, Ghosh and BK (2022) discuss how, at the start of the pandemic, the new, “profane,” state-mediated procedures and official standards for the “disposal” of deceased COVID-19 patients initially replaced variation in the conduct of “holy” Hindu rituals. However, the goal of this study is not to question government regulations on funerals, which are logically justified as a measure to stop the spread of disease.…”

Last Honors and Life Experiences of Bereaved Families in the Context of COVID-19 in Kashmir: A Qualitative Inquiry About Exclusion, Family Trauma, and Other Issues

et al. 2022

This study examined the changing character of the last honours of those who died of COVID-19 in Kashmir and the life experiences of the families of the deceased. A semi-structured interview schedule was used to collect information from 21 participants. Using qualitative data analysis approaches, five key themes were identified vis-à-vis the impact of COVID-19 on burial rituals and customs; effects on bereaved families, shades of grief, bereavement care, community response, and coping with loss. Based on examining the pandemic-induced changes related to customs and rituals around death, the study found that the bereaved family members were in danger of marginalization, economic burdens, psychological traumas, and overall reduced quality of life. This study would be a credible addition to the existing literature on death practices as there is a shortage of research on funeral rituals during the post-pandemic period in Kashmir.

Death, Funeral Rituals, and Stigma: Perspectives from Mortuary Workers and Bereaved Families

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Deaths caused by COVID-19 have affected bereaved family members in several ways, including the inability to perform funeral rites and rituals. Understanding the dynamics and experiences of death and funerals of bereaved families and mortuary workers can lead to improvements in funeral services and the provision of social support for the affected families and mortuary workers. This study aimed to capture the experiences of mourning family members in Indonesia who lost a loved one due to COVID-19 and of mortuary workers who performed funerals according to COVID-19 protocols. Ten family members and 12 mortuary workers living in West Timor, Indonesia, were interviewed using a semistructured interview approach. Findings of the study show that mortuary workers were able to strictly implement the new funeral protocols. However, the rushed nature of these funerals led to resistance from families and prevented bereaved families from performing the usual cultural and religious funeral rituals. This, combined with stigma from their neighbors, led these families to have poor psychological wellbeing.
