Some countries choose to celebrate the dead by having a viewing of the body by friends and family members in the home . The body is dressed in fine clothes libated with herbs. After that happens there is a big parade that marches through the streets of the city , and up to the grave sites, where the body is prayed over (chanted ) and then lowered into the ground.

In Indonesia where 90% of its inhabitants are muslims if one of our family/relatives died,we should burry his/her corpse in the same day. except if he/she died at night. it should be burried in the morning the following day.We burry him/her in the tomb 2m in depth. .Before burrying,usually we bring him/her to the nearest mosque to be prayed.At home we receive many guests for condolence.They give some money to the mourning family.At home also we should make a holy Qur'an reciting especially surah Yaa Shin. which is attended by many relatives and friends.The host prepare a simple foods and drinks such as cakes and fresh water for the guests.The mour-
ning family can be sad but they are prohibited for hard crying.This mourning period usually for only one week.During this week the mourning family every night held a reciting Qur'an with ending by a prayer to ask God's blessing for the dead.
