type: Concept
definition: Lamentation is the ritual mourning of the dead through the collective rather than individual voicing and physical display of grief, usually over the corpse, prior to inhumation or cremation. The word lamentation is derived from Latin lamenta, which describes a wailing, weeping, or moaning. [Source: Encyclopedia of Death and the Human Experience; Lamentations]
