Preparation
of the body and casket.
- The casket should
be sanctified with Holy Salt before the body is dressed and placed in
it.
- Blessed members
are buried in their complete Holy Robes (including the Korean
robes worn underneath if possible), white gloves, white underclothes,
and white socks or stockings. (new if possible, or the best available)
Ideally, these would be the same holy garments worn for other ceremonies
(three-day ceremony, pledge with True Parents, etc.) Any garments that
need to be purchased should be Holy Salted and given to the mortician
for dressing the body. It is important that the Holy Robe belt be tied
correctly; the mortician may need assistance from an individual who
knows how (see page 158, diagram 18.9, in The Tradition book).
- The member's Blessing
ring should be left on.
- Place the following
items in the casket:
· Holy handkerchief
· Divine Principle book (especially one used by the member)
· Special items that the person liked (optional; mainly in the
case of children); anything placed in the casket should be Holy Salted.
