Lesson-4
Death Donation/ Funeral Support Societies• All families in a village are members of these societies• These societies are meant for various welfare affairs
including funeral supporting activities• Although these societies are non-systematic, their structure
and functions are systematic• Voluntary Office bearers (elected) such as chairman,
secretary, treasurer etc. are in the society• A monthly meeting is held to discuss the progress and
activities and to collect monthly fee• Main activity of the society is to help in a death as they do
not have a saved money to spend in such an occasion• It is compulsory to attend the funeral and its events and also
the society can cover financial needs under a ceiling• This is the most popular, efficient and live mechanism
among villagers to help each other in an unexpected event
