What happens during the burial?

All at once, it comes to you like a shock that your beloved are together somewhere, sorrowing for you. This mortal love and longing is very concentrated and intense and appeals strongly—Is it my funeral service? The lid is going down for the last time and the poor worn-out body is laid in its earthly bed. It is a sad thing that one phase of life is passed away, never to be changed or helped, all its mistakes and weaknesses unhealed.
