Mormons are Christians, and as such, have funerals much like other religions. The main difference is that Latter Day Saints believe in forever families that last for eternity. Their emphasis is geared to a celebration of the deceased's life, their passing into the spirit world where they will experience paradise and a time free of sadness, with an eventual reunion with their family. Services are usually held at the member's ward meeting house, with their congregation in attendance. The deceased is usually buried in their white temple clothes (if they held a recommend). The Relief Society generally provides some flowers, music, incl. a piano or organ player, a chorus director and spiritually uplifting music. The ward Bishop, friends and family will all says a few words. After everyone goes to the cemetary, the ward often provides a full wake/meal for everyone as a tribute and help to the affected family (at no charge).
