Funerals
Dominican funerals ceremonies extend more than a week, nine days are dedicated to show love, care and respect to the deceased family and their memory.
The first three days are dedicated to grieving the dead, the next three are for silence and reminiscing on memories of the dead and the last three is about letting go and accepting the separation from the loved one.
The “cumplir” is another funeral tradition that compels a person to attend a funeral even if they don’t feel like it, they are to attend because they are obligated to do so.
