Ceremonies are not empty words and actions, they should be tailored to the individuals and families involved. Like the events that they mark, the effects last in time and in memory.

The Need to Mark Life's Changes
Passages are milestones to be honored and celebrated: coming into this world at birth; the naming of a new child; the transition from childhood to adulthood; the joining of your life with another; the transition to elder.
Other transitions may be more painful and filled with sadness. Or, perhaps, they come with a sense of relief when something has been outworn, and it is time to move on: a parting or divorce, a miscarriage, a death. These, too, are events to honor, to mark, and to share with those who are close to you.
Ceremonies are not empty words and actions, they should be tailored to the individuals and families involved. Like the events that they mark, the effects last in time and in memory.
