funeral prayer
Words for departed
A funeral prayer is a prayer offered for or on behalf of a deceased person, typically during funeral rites or memorial services.
In Islam, the funeral prayer (salat al-janazah) is a specific communal obligation performed over the body before burial, consisting of standing prayers without bowing or prostration.
Christian traditions incorporate funeral prayers into requiem masses, graveside services, and vigils.
The imam led the funeral prayer in the mosque courtyard.
