Funerals are the rite the tradition performs most and describes least. Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox practice keeps the body present and open, and expects the family to kiss it; the memorial services on the third, ninth and fortieth day and then annually mean the obligation does not end with the burial. Kollyva — boiled wheat with sugar, nuts and pomegranate — is blessed and shared at each, the grain standing for the buried seed in the resurrection argument. Ethiopian mourning runs longer and louder, with days of organised lament, and the burial societies called mahiber exist partly to fund it. Western Protestant funerals moved in the opposite direction across the twentieth century, toward a short celebration of the person with the body absent or already cremated, which is a change in doctrine as much as in taste — the older rite was addressed to God about the dead, the newer one is addressed to the living about them.
