homegoing


in the black church tradition, a homegoing service is often separate from the funeral. the focus of the homegoing is a celebration of someone’s life, as opposed to a burial service. a homegoing generally includes a lot of happy singing, fond jokes and memories, a sermon, and lots of laughter. also, it’s often held at night, whereas a funeral often happens in the morning.
with all that singing, michael jackson’s memorial service was more of a homegoing than a funeral.
