Legacy Times 传城时代 2020年6月17日 杰妮丝 当人逝世后，最后的仪式就会是葬礼，死者的家属就会把葬礼办得妥妥当当。完整的葬礼也代表着让死者安然的与世界道别，我们也好好的送死者最后一程。众所周知，我国马来西亚是个多元文化国家。主要的种族是马来人、华人以及印度人。当然还有卡达山人、伊班人、巴乔人等其他种族。我国主要的宗教有伊斯兰教、佛教、印度教、道教、基督教、天主教等其他宗教。各个民族和宗教之间都有着不同的文化与传统。各个民族和宗教的思想以及信仰价值观都大有不同。因此，马来西亚的丧葬文化和礼仪也出现了不同的文化和礼仪。 马来西亚政府并没有全权监管我国的丧葬服务官方单位和法规，所以各种族的丧礼文化都是以宗教为主。因此，每个宗教都会以不同的方法和文化安葬死者。在马来西亚最常见的葬礼方式就是土葬和火葬，死者的安息场都会在墓地、骨灰塔、佛堂或者家属们会选择把骨灰撒入海里等其他安息场。基本上，当家中的亲人逝世后，亲人会委托殡葬服务，给死者护理和入殓。殡葬服务者会给死者安排祭奠和安葬仪式。死者亲属还会去政府有关部门申办死亡证明和会安排治丧的地点。另外，如果死者是自然死亡，家属可以先办理死亡证书、办理埋葬或火化许可证、入殓和领尸。如果死者是非自然死亡必须先通过法医的验尸查明死因才能去办理那些证书。接下来就来和大家分享马来西亚各种丧葬礼仪吧。 国葬礼仪 – 马来西亚国葬最崇高的荣誉葬礼。通常只匹配于国家元首、统治者和一些伟大的政治家。在进行国葬礼仪时，全国或州的国旗都必须降半旗致哀，而且必须禁止全国或州的一切娱乐活动。通常葬礼那一天将会列为特别假日，好让公众前往吊唁。此外，国葬礼仪还有分成准国葬以及公葬。通常公葬是用于警察、军士及特命全权大使。 穆斯林丧葬礼仪 – 穆斯林或伊斯兰教的死者是一定要在天黑之前入土为安。如果死者是在太阳下山之后死去，那必须在隔天清晨下葬。在伊斯兰教的丧葬礼仪师禁止火化和防腐、化妆和装饰的。因为教规言道，人是阿拉真主用土所造，死后必须归回大地。所以死者逝世后，家属会帮忙死者清洗身体，之后再以卡凡（al-Kafan）白布包裹遗体，男性会包3层，女性则会包5层。最后遗体只会露出脸部，好让家属送行时可以亲吻死者的额头。 华人丧葬礼仪 –…
