	Bahá'u'lláh revealed a prayer for the soul of the departed to be read at funerals. It is the only "congregational" prayer in the Bahá'í Faith. It is to be read aloud by one person, while those present stand in silence. There are then six verses, which are each repeated nineteen times.

	The [[Kitáb-i-Aqdas]] stipulates certain requirements for burial. Among these is the requirement that the body should be wrapped in cloth, and that embalming is not to be ~~undertafken~~. A ring should be placed upon the body, bearing a specific quotation. The body must then be placed into a coffin of durable material, such as hardwood, stone or crystal. Burial should be undertaken in a spot that is less than an hour's travel from the place of death. However, none of these elements is accompanied by ritual. For example, no special prayers have to accompany the placing of the ring, and no special prayers are mandatory as the coffin is interred.
