What are your specific and immediate cultural expectations around death? First, state your specific culture and then identify and explain the rituals(or lack thereof) of death including mourning, honoring of the dead, how the body is handled?

Culture: American, monotheistic religion (Christianity)

Cultural expectations:

Preparation of the deceased's remains
The decision to donate organs
The decision of the place to bury
Hold a funeral
Let people know of a funeral
Wearing black for the funeral
Have a ritual of speaking of the dead
Pay respects for the final time
Recite a verse from the bible (By the pastor)
Disperse after burial

The body is usually prepped by a memorial service. Other arrangements such as music and speech are handled by loved ones. It is simple for Christians to believe in the afterlife and that the dead have passed on to a better place.
