The body of the deceased is washed thoroughly. The deceased is buried in a simple pine coffin. The deceased is buried wearing a simple white shroud (tachrichim). The body is guarded or watched from the moment of death until after burial. Jewish funeral etiquette varies; usually men are asked to wear a skullcap and women a head covering. Black or dark colors are appropriate, as are respectful clothes such as suits, dresses, or business attire. You may notice that immediate family members wear a black button-looking pin with a ribbon hanging from it. An average funeral service at a funeral home or in a synagogue will usually last 40-65 minutes. Whether or not there are personal speakers, there are almost always traditional prayers including Psalm 23 and El Malei Rachamim.
