Hindu families in India traditionally keep the body of a deceased relative at home until the time of cremation, and the body is washed by family members as part of the last rites. This is not a practice in Jewish, Catholic, or Lutheran traditions. In Jewish tradition, the body is washed by a group of volunteers called a chevra kadisha and is typically done in a designated facility. In Catholic tradition, the body is usually embalmed and viewed at a funeral home or church before burial. In Lutheran tradition, there is no specific custom related to body preparation, but the body is usually buried or cremated within a few days of death.
