FROM A HISTORICAL
PERSPECTIVE
Throughout history, preparation of the corpse was a common theme, as it was a general practice to wash and clothe the body. The body was then taken to a resting place, sometimes only temporarily. It might have been laid on a scaffold to await later cremation, or in some societies, it was common practice to bury the body until the flesh was gone. Then, the bones were exhumed for a second burial. This was quite common in traditional societies. These customs derive from a belief that the soul briefly remains in this world before departing for the next. Final disposition of the corpse implies final disposition of the soul. Until then, the mourners have certain ritual obligations toward the deceased.
