What Should Be Done When a Loved One Dies?
1 What Should be Done when a Loved One Dies? The following are the specific Islamic rites honoring the deceased: 1) Closing the eyes of the deceased: The Prophet (pbuh) said, “When a soul is seized, the eyesight follows it.” 2) Covering the deceased: Covering the deceased is a way of respecting and preserving the dignity of the deceased. 3) Donation of organs: Donate any organ or part of the body only if the deceased requested in his/her will and testament or is registered as a donor. Family members have no rights to donate organs or parts of the body without the prior consent of the deceased. 4) Arrangements for burial: Family members may contact any Islamic funeral director in the area to handle the burial procedures including the funeral prayer and prepare for burial without delay. 5) Informing relatives and friends: It is desirable to inform relatives, neighbors, friends and co- workers of the deceased about his or her death so that they may share in the reward of participating in the funeral prayer as well as praying for the deceased. 6) Washing the body: The guardian of the deceased should wash, wrap and arrange for the funeral prayer prior to burial. The funeral director may assist in case the guardian is unable to do so. 7) Funeral prayer: The funeral prayer or salat al-Janazah is a collective duty upon the Muslim community. The funeral prayer may be performed at a mosque or any public community hall. The prayer is led by a local Imam or preferably by the male guardian, son or any person the deceased may have designated.

What kind of funeral should it be? What funeral provider should you use? Should you bury or cremate the body, or donate it to science? What are you legally required to buy? What other arrange- ments should you plan? And, as callous as it may sound, how much is it all going to cost? Each year, Americans grapple with these and many other questions as they spend billions of dollars arranging more than 2 million funerals for family members and friends. The increasing trend toward pre-need planning — when people make funeral arrangements in advance — suggests that many consumers want to compare prices and services so that ultimately, the funeral reflects a wise and well-informed purchasing decision, as well as a meaningful one. A CONSUMER PRODUCT Funerals rank among the most expensive purchases many consumers will ever make.

Tulsa Race Massacre Investigation Oaklawn Cemetery Executive Summary of 2020 Test Excavations
Tulsa Race Massacre Investigation Oaklawn Cemetery Executive Summary of 2020 Test Excavations Presented by the Physical Investigation Committee By Kary Stackelbeck, Ph.D. and Phoebe Stubblefield, Ph.D. with contributions by: Debra Green, Ph.D., Leland Bement, Ph.D., Amanda Regnier, Ph.D., Scott Hammerstedt, Ph.D., Angela Berg, M.A., and Scott Ellsworth, Ph.D. Key Findings: • Test excavations in the Sexton Area (July 13-22, 2020): o No evidence of a mass grave or any other human remains was identified. o Excavations revealed evidence of two historic roads and several episodes of dumping of debris, early to mid-20th century artifacts, and soil from other locations that collectively resulted in the accumulation of about 10 feet of fill over the sloped surface that we believe would have been present in the early 1900’s. o Excavations also revealed a low-lying swampy area near the southern end of the Sexton Area that contains very dark, wet soil, numerous artifacts, fragments of wood, and some non-human bone. • Soil Cores and Augers excavated in the Clyde Eddy Area (October 19-22, 2020): o No evidence of a mass grave or any other human remains was identified in the soil core samples. o From these results, it is possible that we are not looking in the same location indicated by Mr. Eddy or where the earlier geophysical survey (Brooks and Witten 2001) identified a promising anomaly. o Further investigation is needed. • Test excavations in the Original 18 Area (October 19-22, 2020): o Test excavations revealed a mass grave that contains the remains of at least 12 individuals based largely on evidence for coffins and coffin hardware.

ISBN 978-0-9845627-0-1 How Death Imitates Life: Cultural Influences on Conceptions of Death and Dying Abstract Regardless of how or where we are born, what unites people of all cultures is the fact everyone eventually dies. However, cultures vary in how they conceptualize death and what happens when a person dies. In some cultures, death is conceived to involve different conditions, including sleep, illness, and reaching a certain age. In other cultures, death is said to occur only when there is a total cessation of life. Similarly, certain cultural traditions view death as a transition to other forms of existence; others propose a continuous interaction between the dead and the living; some cultures conceive a circular pattern of multiple deaths and rebirths; and yet others view death as the final end, with nothing occurring after death. These different conceptions have a noticeable influence on their lifestyles, their readiness to die for a cause, the degree to which they fear death, their expressions of grief and mourning, and the nature of funeral rituals.

Muhammad's Grave: Death Rites and the Making of Islamic Society
Muhammad's Grave: Death Rites and the Making of Islamic Society. Leor Halevi. New York: Columbia University Press, 2007. 400 pp. IAN STRAUGHN Brown University We know comparatively little about the burial customs of the early Muslim world, in contrast to the cultures of the ancient Near East and Egypt. The paucity of precious grave goods to be exhumed from Muslim burials, as well as a virtual moratorium on excavating inhumations of individuals who are believed to have been Muslims, has contributed in large part to the lack of scholarly attention. In this respect, Leor Halevi’s monograph is a welcome contribution. It is an exhaustively researched study based on more than a decade of careful investigation of textual sources and material culture. Yet, Muhammad’s Grave does more than fill in a gap. It engages in a number of important ongoing debates about the nature of early Islamic historiography, the treatment of ritual, and, most importantly, the place of death in understanding the cultural transformations of the Islamic world in its formative stage. At its core this is a study of the emerging discourses of jurisprudence (fiqh) and the science of Prophetic traditions (‘ilm al-hadith) as they pertained to the treatment of death in early Muslim societies, primarily in the cities of Arabia, Egypt, the Levant, and Mesopotamia. The study analyzes how these discourses sought to “Islamize the body” through manufacturing a standard idiom for the ways in which Muslims should bury, mourn, and conceptualize their dead. While this approach has the benefit of transforming death and its customs into a valuable site in which to examine a series of larger issues ranging from the contestations of political authority to the institutionalization of patriarchy, it offers an oversimplified understanding of the relationship between discourse and practice in the Islamic tradition.
