A crowning ceremony at a funeral is a symbolic service, often part of African American "homegoing" services, where a jeweled or flower crown is placed on the deceased's head inside the casket. It symbolizes the promise of eternal life for those who believe in Christ, as described in the biblical passage "Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life" (Revelation 2:10). The ceremony is performed with music and can be a way to celebrate the deceased's life and acknowledge their importance.
