The loss of a loved one through death is usually followed by a funeral and engagement in various grief rituals. We examined the association between the evaluation of the funeral, the use of grief rituals and grief reactions. Bereaved individuals from the Netherlands completed questionnaires, six months and three years post-loss ( = 552/289). Although the funeral and rituals were considered helpful, no significant association between evaluation of the funeral and usage of grief rituals and grief reactions was found. More insight in the engagement in rituals will ultimately serve bereaved individuals to cope with loss.
失去亲人通常会伴随着葬礼和各种悲伤仪式。我们研究了葬礼评价、悲伤仪式使用与悲伤反应之间的关系。荷兰丧亲者在丧后 6 个月和 3 年时完成了问卷（ = 552/289）。尽管葬礼和仪式被认为是有帮助的，但葬礼评价与悲伤仪式使用和悲伤反应之间没有显著关联。更多地了解仪式的参与情况最终将有助于丧亲者应对失去亲人的痛苦。
