It is interesting to note that the process before a funeral typically involves immediate care for the deceased, handling legal paperwork, and organizing the viewing or wake.

Here is a simple breakdown of what happens in the days leading up to a funeral:

Immediate Care and Transportation

✓ Pronouncing death: A doctor or hospice nurse must formally confirm the death.

✓ Moving the body: A funeral home or mortuary service transports the person from the place of death to their facility.

✓ Body preparation: The funeral home provides basic care, which may include bathing, dressing, refrigeration, or embalming depending on your choices and local customs.

Legal and Paperwork Tasks

✓ Death certificate: The medical team and the family work to get the death certificate signed and filed with local civil registrar offices.

✓ Permits: The funeral director usually helps secure permits for burial or cremation.

Making Arrangements

✓ Choosing disposition: 

Decide between a traditional burial or cremation.

✓ Selecting items: 

Pick out a casket or an urn, and choose clothing for the deceased.

✓ Setting the schedule:

Coordinate the dates for the wake, viewing, or visitation, which usually happen within 3 to 7 days after the passing.

✓ Notifying others: Reach out to family, friends, employers, and optionally publish an obituary or death notice.

Primarily, the Bible has this to say: 

“If the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the one who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also, through his Spirit that dwells in you (Romans 8:11).
