They die in hospitals, secluded and antiseptic, or their bodies are whisked off to the morgue or the funeral home. Perhaps, if a body is to be viewed, it is embalmed and made to look as if only asleep—a vision referred to as the “memory image” in the funeral industry. Family and friends generally have permission to participate more in their own feelings of loss than in the process the dying person is experiencing in and after death.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Avatar Adi Da Samraj has shown us that actively serving those who are dying is a tremendous honor and responsibility.
