At an Irish Catholic funeral Mass – The priest sometimes while blessing the casket at the end of the Mass – he will knock 3 times on the casket is there some kind of meaning to this? Thank you

Could you please tell me some details about a few of the images in your mourning slide show… ? What artist did “Remembering Father”? And where did you find the photograph of Queen Victoria in mourning attire at her daughter’s wedding?

Many thanks for the excellent information.
It has helped me a lot to understand why I should wear black at my Mother’s funeral later today.
