There are numerous reliable resources outlining what Pallbearers do and how they perform in different countries throughout the world. These can be made into different subsections, with a full description of how Pallbearers compare and contrast with one another throughout the countries who have them.

Pallbearer. Where does the pall in ‘pallbearer’ come from. I know that it is a covering for the casket but why is it there and what is its significance?

Casket link links to incorerct page; should link to coffin… —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.9.165.104 (talk) 08:59, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I altered the last paragraph, removing the phrase “associated in an intimate manner with the deceased before their death” and changing it to “are usually family members, close friends, or colleagues of the deceased”. The phrasing of “intimate manner” seems misleading in the context. I realize that “intimate” does not imply sexual, but I doubt most people would understand the difference, and considering the stub nature of the article, I figured it won’t hurt.

Wrong that the title is hyphenated (Pall-bearer) but the text is not, (pallbearer).–621PWC (talk) 18:52, 22 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I can’t honestly say I know how it works in all of Europe but in Portugal and Spain the pall-bearers are more often than not employees of the funeral home that arranged the service, and one or two family members if they want. 217.129.84.2 (talk) 15:40, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Same for Germany. 99% professionals. A family member joining in would be considered odd, I never saw it happen in any of the funerals I was participating and it would never have crossed my mind to do so even for family members. The only exception I could think of is the military or perhaps similar professions (say firefighters) where colleagues may do it. I doubt that sentence saying it’s not professionals in Europe is wrong at least as a general rule.–146.227.239.13 (talk) 16:04, 23 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In Finland, pallbearing is almost exclusively carried out by family, friends and other people close to the deceased. I know because I’ve been a pallbearer twice. 2001:14BA:A0C6:2C00:2B25:9894:761D:8570 (talk) 20:20, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The grammar and syntax are so bad in this article it needs complete rewrite.

The cited source contradicts the statement.
It states that in the US and Canada, pallbearers carry the casket at waist height, as opposed to on the shoulders as in other countries. However, clicking on the link brings us to a newspaper with a photograph of pallbearers in Canada clearly carrying the casket on their shoulders.2A02:2454:9860:5300:406A:8EA8:276D:36D0 (talk) 01:21, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Very poor grammar and syntax, poor structure in this article. Needs rewriting. 148.252.141.92 (talk) 23:52, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fully agree. The grammar is poor and the article jumps from one subject to another randomly. 2001:14BA:A0C6:2C00:2B25:9894:761D:8570 (talk) 20:17, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
