What are the signatures of the traditional black funeral?

What is the difference between the New Orleans jazz funeral and the
traditional black funeral practiced elsewhere in the country?

hey lionnyc-ga,

i took a class on the anthropology of death a few semesters back and
we read a book that should help you...it's called "Passed On," i think
the author's last name is holloway. anyway, it's all about african
american funeral practices from the beginning of the 20th century.
