hold a funeral

Family and friends plan to hold a funeral for Douglas in two weeks.

“We don’t take parts before we hold a funeral for them,” said the leader of A Fun.

The sisters are in different parts of Gaza and can't reach each other to hold a funeral or grieve.

While she waited, Mahtab didn't allow anyone to hold a funeral for her daughter or share their condolences.

Shamdasani added that in some cases, authorities were placing conditions on the release of bodies, asking families not to hold a funeral or speak to the media.
