Muslim funeral.
Islamic funeral is the simplest ceremony among all other faith/religius funeral ceremony. The janazah/corpse should be washed. the purpose is to physically cleanse the corpse. No embalmment allowed for preserving the corpse because it should be burried as soon as possible. However washing/bathing will not be possible if the person died due to accident/martyr. (damage janazah) or supposed the person dead in overseas which need embalmment due to delivery and paper work however shariah does not favor as the deceased should be burried soon.the janazah should be treated with respect and compassion so burning, chopping the corpse is forbidden.
After bathing, the janazah will be shrouded/ kaffan with white cotton clothes. No any belonging could be kept with Janazah. Ring, gold, watches should be removed. All Muslim's janazah wearing the same clothes either king, sultan or even poor people will wear the same thing, the white clothes. The society then gathering offer a prayer to janazah and deliver to the grave. before taking to the grave the preacher will announce to the people in case the person who passed away has debt to inform to family. because in Islam we believe debt will bring the person to the hell unless it is paid. During the way to the grave no music, dancing, singing is permitted. It is forbidden for muslim for wailing, yelling, tearing the clothes, hitting the chest because of the sorrow. Instead sincerity accepts the will of God. Inalillahi wainailahi rojiun. “To Allah we belong to Him we return”.
Bury the deceased no coffin needed. It just few wood to cover the janazah before the soil cover the hole. It is fard kifayah/mandatory for muslim society to bury the janazah otherwise the muslim society will be in sin for abandoning the janazah. (supposed there is unknown people who passed away hence the society will gather together to bury the deceased).
The society/mosque will give the family shadaqah/charity to help them for the ceremony cost. wood, clothes etc. The aim to light the burden those family who are in grieve as it is suppose not to make them in debt or difficulty.
"Every soul will taste death, and you will only be given your [full] compensation on the Day of Resurrection. So he who is drawn away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise has attained [his desire]. And what is the life of this world except the enjoyment of delusion".3:185
Say: 'Death, from which you are fleeing, will certainly catch up with you.
Then you will be returned to the Knower of the Unseen and the
Visible and He will inform you about what you did.'
(Surat al-Jumu'ah: 8)
Then you will be returned to the Knower of the Unseen and the
Visible and He will inform you about what you did.'
(Surat al-Jumu'ah: 8)
