For many latinos their approach to death is religion and offerings. In some parts of Mexico ofrendas are made in order to dedicate a space to a love one who has passed. When someone has passed Latinos may hold get together in order to pray for their loved ones passing so they may have a safe passage to the after-world. Latinos will come together to mourn while also bringing food to the main family of the family member who has passed. Some latino families may also have tradition of wearing black for every get together after the passing of a family member.

since many Latino men don't show much emotion i feel like this is the only opportunity for them to show some emotion an even then they are expected to be like a rock ready support everybody else.

Depending on where someone is from or their mindset, death is not always treated how one might expect. For many death entails a celebration of life, a passing into another stage of life that is above the mortal plane, not always entailing heaven or hell. To many it is easy to miss that some celebratory send offs occur at funerals where mourning and anguish are to be expected. A mariachi send off by definition is a celebration of life, for those who enjoy the music or lived it. As the casket is being taken to the burial site and lowered a mariachi band follows playing some of their favorite music and some members of the family do a final grito for their loved one.

Latinos approach death like others, but they have different ways of remembering them whether it's making ofrendas or celebrating them after their passing.

Death is not something that is taken lightly in the Latino community. Of Course like everyone else they grieve and mourn. But they also celebrate the life that the person lived. And it can also take a pretty big toll on someone after the death of a loved one. Some Latinos look forward to DIa de los muertos, because it is a common custom to honor the dead and feel connected with them. Some decorate beautiful altars to honor the deceased, and it really reflects the high regard for their family.

I believe death is a sad, but happy experience. It is sad and hard to see loved ones being put to rest, with all relatives from different places giving their prayers and respect to each other. But, the memories and all the experience you had with that person cheers us up and makes us a better person. Believing that they are still with us is how (my family) copes with a lose.

Some would distance themselves to either push their feelings away or to cry it out by themselves.The energy of the family is sorrow and gloomy, trying to lift up the atmosphere some would try to bring up the good memories of the loved one who passed. The children would have adults explain what's happening or be pushed to the side since they might be too young to understand. Would visit each other's homes to see how the rest are feeling and give comfort when needed.

Lations experience the death of someone with sadness. Everyone gets together and say their last words to the person who has passed away before they get burried. For the day everyone is sad and quietly talking to each other. For a few weeks they will hold prayers for that person and make reunions to remember them.

Death (especially in family) is seen as a big deal and a tragic event. People will all come to mourn together and honor the life of the person who passed. Loved ones who do pass are honored every year during dia de los muertos.

Latinos approach death like many others. We take it very seriously and are usually followed by many days of mourning. After they mourn some may find their favorite memories, distance themselves, or even try to forget it. We all mourn in different ways, but we take it so seriously because of the tight bond we have with everyone around us. Many bring candles, flowers, and pictures to the funeral. The funerals are usually filled with many people that they were close to to show appreciation

Like anyone else in the world, Latinos approach death with sadness and heartbreak. But death is kind of a taboo subject for some. When someone in the family passes away they take it very very seriously but, from my experience with family passing away, they tend to push everyone into forgetting the sadness that is being felt to feel happiness for the person who is gone so they can rest peacfully. They show their respect to those who passed by honoring them and keeping their legacy strong.

When it comes to death I feel like its either one ,it has a really big impact on them or two it's not a big deal. As latinos death is something that we are not afraid of because we like to believe that once they die they are finally in a better place at peace.

I would say in the culture of Latinos when someone dies in your family, they would pray to them every day for two to three weeks before their burial. As that's what my family did when my grandpa passed away. On the last day, everyone had to pull an all nighter as it was time for his burial.

Many Latinos have certain ways that a death is approached. Many will push their feelings to the side to avoid feeling any type of sadness while others commemorate the death of a close one by celebrating what their life on Earth was. Man Latinos will typically take time for themselves to mourn the loss of a loved one and will try to continue their lives but the reality is that many will continue to mourn the loss of a loved on for the rest of their lives and won't go back to the lifestyle they once had.

Latinos mourn deeply over passed away ones. They eventually accept the loss and celebrate the loss and try to remember the person for all the good things they've done.

I think they approach it the same as other cultures, they're obviously sad, maybe depressed, or with zero energy to do anything for a couple days maybe even weeks. Adding on latinos tend to wear black for a couple weeks or days when a close family member has past, and they also tend to not go out to parties for a couple months.

Some approach death with sadness, discouragement, and others approach it in a form of celebration, not a happy one, but one of sorrow. When someone in a Latino family passes away, the funeral and mourning is filled with many tears, especially from their parents. After then, the parents and whoever else was close to the person will mourn them till time ends. Every year when their passing day comes around, they always take time out of their day to remember them and mourn them.
