1. funeral, a ceremony to honor and remember a deceased person, with the attendant observances
2. bier, a litter, stand, or frame on which a corpse is placed to lie in state or to be carried to the grave
3. (by extension) corpse, cadaver, a dead body, especially that of a human as opposed to an animal

   Synonyms: میت (meyt), نعش (naʼaş)
