Introduction International Mourning Symbol The society is in movement. The world is getting smaller. Mobile communicating, surfing on the Internet, Satellite TV in the distant corners of the world. All this makes the feeling of distance between people throughout the continents very relative. Our attitude towards death seems to be more open, with less distance. And the experience of mourning is more personal and more intense. There is a growing need to share and express the feelings of personal loss of life and mourning with other people. There is also a growing need, beside the traditional, culture-, country- or region committed mourning display, to attain an universally recognisable and more modern symbolism. A symbol that has a strong meaning within a variety of cultures and backgrounds. With the introduction of the new International Mourning Symbol it is possible to display grief on an individual and collective, and if possible international way, free from national symbolism (national flag at half-mast).
