|  |  |  | dead person: Encyclopedia II - Death - Interpretations of deathIn almost all societies, death has one or several symbols associated with it. Common symbols of death in Western cultures include the grim reaper and the color black; conversely, in certain Eastern cultures, the color white is considered symbolic of death. The grave is a metonym for death.
Biologically, death can occur to wholes, to parts, or to both. For example, it is possible for individual cells and even organs to die, and yet for the organism as a whole to continue to live; many individual cells live for only a short time, and so most of an organism's cells (except for nerve and muscle) are ...

|  |  |  | dead person: Encyclopedia II - Death - Unwritten customs and superstitionsSince writing someone's name with a range of years, such as John Doe (1950 - 2000), implies that the subject has died, it would be a faux pas to do this on someone's birthday cake or card. This is unlike an anniversary of something.
In China, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan, thus possibly all Oriental countries, the number 4 is often associated to death due to the sound of the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean words for four and death being similar. For this reason, hospitals and hotels often omit the 4th, 14th, etc. floors. However, ISO ...

|  |  |  | dead person: Encyclopedia II - Jewish bereavement - Death and dyingEverything that Jews do regarding death is for one of two reasons: respect for the dead (kavod ha-met) or to console those left behind (nihum avelim).
Jewish bereavement - Death bed.
By Jewish law, Jews are forbidden to do anything to hasten a person's death but, are at the same time required to do anything possible to comfort the dying. So the spectrum of what can-and-cannot be done for a person on their deathbed goes to both extremes. There are some who will not touch a dying person for fear that something so mild might bring about their demise.

|  |  |  | dead person: Encyclopedia II - Pink musician - Personal LifeShe has explained the origin of the stage name "Pink" in three different versions, one explicit. The lighter version claims that she had her pants pulled down by a boy at a YMCA summer camp when she was a teenager, and her face turned bright pink out of embarrassment. The explicit version claims that a friend told her that her pubic region was bright pink. She has also said that in the movie Reservoir Dogs there is a character named Mr. Pink. She said all of her friends said she acted just like him so she wanted to call herself that. But her ...

|  |  |  | dead person: Encyclopedia II - Jewish bereavement - BurialThe Torah requires burial, even for executed criminals (Deut. 21:23).
Jews are buried in caskets that aren't hermetically sealed. Man was created from dust, and when he dies his body is supposed to return to the dust (Gen. 3:19).
Jacob and Joseph were embalmed, but that was before the Torah was given.
Unclaimed dead require respectful burial (see Burial in Jew. Encyc. iii. 432b: "met miẓwah").

Halakha (Jewish law), forbids cremation and holds that the soul of a cremated person cannot find its final re ...

|  |  |  | dead person: Encyclopedia II - Ezekiel - Resurrection of the deadEzekiel's greatest miracle consisted in his resuscitation of the dead, which is recounted in chapter 37 of the Book of Ezekiel. There are different traditions as to the fate of these men, both before and after their resurrection, and as to the time at which it happened. Some say that they were godless people, who in their lifetime had denied the resurrection, and committed other sins; others think they were those Ephraimites who tried to escape from Egypt before Moses and perished in the attempt. There are still others who maintain that afte ...

|  |  |  | dead person: Encyclopedia II - Burial - Alternatives to burialNot all cultures bury their dead, and many of those that do bury their dead do not do so in all cases. Alternatives include:
Burial at sea is the practice of depositing the body in an ocean or other large body of water instead of soil. It may be disposed in a coffin, or without one.
Cannibalism is the practice of eating the remains. This may be for many reasons: for example to partake of their strength, to spiritually "close the circle" by reabsorbing their life into the family or clan, to annihilate an enemy, or due to ...

|  |  |  | dead person: Encyclopedia II - Ezekiel - Ezekiel's personalityHerein lies the individualistic tendency which distinguishes him from his predecessors. He conceives it as his prophetic mission to strive to reach his brethren and compatriots individually, to follow them, and to win them back to God; and he considers himself personally responsible for every individual soul. Those redeemed were to form the congregation of the new Temple, and to exemplify by their lives the truth of the word that Israel was destined to become a "kingdom of priests" (Exodus 19:6). Law and worship--these are the two focal poin ...

Other Muslims believe Dhul-Kifl may be the same person as Gautama Buddha, taking 'Kifl' to be the Arabic pronunciation of Kapilvastu, a place where he spent 30 years of his life, and use t ...

|  |  |  | dead person: Encyclopedia II - Ezekiel - IntroductionEzekiel is a prophet who was instructed to act his prophesies. He was a prophet who loved drama and songwriting unlike the other prophets. He would sometimes do unbelievable things such as taking a potter's flask and smashing it to symbolize that Jerusalem will be destroyed and the people in Jerusalem will be scattered to the winds.
The elders of the exiles repeatedly visited him to obtain a divine oracle (chapters 8, 14, 20). He exerted no permanent influence upon his contemporaries, however, whom he repeatedly calls the "rebellious ...

|  |  |  | dead person: Encyclopedia II - Dead Like Me - PremiseGrim reapers, portrayed without the traditional black cloak and scythe, are an integral part of the cycle of life and death. They remove the souls of the living shortly before death and escort them until they move on into their afterlife. Death has a list of who is scheduled to die and when. The foreman gets the list, transfers the first initial and last name of the person, where they are to die, and their estimated time of death (ETD) to a Post-it and assigns them to the reapers. It is said that death is non-transferrable: each person's sou ...

|  |  |  | dead person: Encyclopedia II - Burial - Reasons for human burialAfter death, the corpse will start to decay and emit unpleasant odors due to the gases released by bacterial decomposition. Burial prevents the living from having to see and smell the corpses, but is not necessarily a public health requirement. Contrary to conventional wisdom, the WHO advises that only corpses carrying an infectious disease strictly require bural [1] [2] (see also dead bodies and health risks).
Various human burial practices seek to demonstrate "respect for the dead", for the following reasons.
