Au Canada, «obsèques» appartient à la langue administrative et désigne des funérailles officielles. Ce mot, qui signifie «cérémonie et convoi funèbres», selon le Petit Robert (éd. 2016), tend cependant à supplanter «funérailles», particulièrement en France. 4, record 1, French, - fun%C3%A9railles

La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que, para referirse al hecho de enterrar un cadáver y a los servicios relacionados con el enterramiento, en español se emplea preferentemente el término "entierro". Debe evitarse el uso de "funeral", que es un calco del inglés y que en español significa "conjunto de los oficios solemnes que se celebran por un difunto algunos días después del entierro o en cada aniversario de su muerte". 1, record 1, Spanish, - entierro
