Muslim Funeral and Islamic Burial Rites
Islamic funeral rites emphasize simplicity and swiftness. Upon death, the body is washed and shrouded in white cloth. A funeral prayer, led by an Imam, is held. Burial is preferred over cremation. The deceased is laid to rest facing Mecca, the holiest city in Islam. Graves are typically unmarked, reflecting the Islamic belief in the afterlife and the insignificance of worldly possessions
