Our director's father has just passed away. She's from Iran and her religion is Bahai. We wonder what the appropriate thing to do is. Would a card be OK? How about a basket of fruit or some flowers? Anything you can recommend or tell us to avoid??
Iranian/Bahai funeral customs??
you can certainly send any type of flowers or cards. Baha'is have no food restrictions, so fruit is welcome too. I really don't know the customs in Iran, but here in the US, when a person passes away, instead of mourning (the usualy custom), Baha'is usually say prayers of rejoicing, because that person is going to be with God forever. I have been to parties where the person passing on is celebrated for all the wonderful things they have done in their lifetimes. It is really a beautiful thing.
Reply:A card would be OK. Bahai funerals tend to be simple.
