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).
