Hello Everyone It’s Claude Here, in the month of December. Today’s Monday Motivation word is Laying In State.

Lying in state is the tradition in which the body of a deceased official, such as a head of state, is placed in a state building, either outside or inside a coffin, to allow the public to pay their respects. It traditionally takes place in a major government building of a country, state, or city. 

▪︎Lying-in-State describes the formal occasion in which a coffin is placed on view to allow the public to pay their respects to the deceased before the funeral ceremony.

▪︎ When properly stored and cooled, a body can be kept for up to six weeks at the funeral home, so you’ll have plenty of flexibility when planning your memorial service.

▪︎ The bodies of the dead would be prepared and dressed (or “laid out”), then displayed in a room of the family house for two or three days whilst the burial was arranged and visitors paid their respects.

▪︎ Your heart no longer beats, your breath stops and your brain stops functioning. Studies suggest that brain activity may continue several minutes after a person has been declared dead. Still, brain activity isn’t the same as consciousness or awareness. It doesn’t mean that a person is aware that they’ve died.

The brain and nerve cells require a constant supply of oxygen and will die within a few minutes, once you stop breathing. The next to go will be the heart, followed by the liver, then the kidneys and pancreas, which can last for about an hour. Skin, tendons, heart valves and corneas will still be alive after a day.
