burial ritual

A burial ritual is a cultural or religious ceremony performed to respectfully lay a deceased person to rest. It often involves specific practices such as washing or cleansing the body, dressing it in special clothing, and placing it in a coffin or grave. Rituals may include prayers, ceremonies, or rituals intended to honor the deceased, provide comfort to mourners, and facilitate spiritual beliefs about the afterlife. These practices vary widely among cultures and religions but generally serve to mark the transition from life to death with dignity and respect.
