@KKF

public display of grief by wailing is the norm in the East while hiding grief in public is the norm in the west.

memorial services in the west is highlights the celebration of the deceased persons life events where friends and relatives share positive side of the departed soul. in the East, it’s usually marked with religious rituals and display of grief.

Not exactly. if you observe gatherings after someone dies in east, the most common sentences you would hear is ‘Allah bukhshay bohut naik / bhale aadmi the, nokron ko bachon ki tarah samajhte the… Kabhi bivi se tez lehje tak main baat na ki’.
