Today in egypt..
Death is still very important, but they do not use the art of mummification.
Burial is usually the day of before sundown, or within three days
Funerals are usually held in the Mosque.
Then the casket is carried by male family members to the cemetery
Forty days after death are time for mourning and for paying respects
These rituals are very similar to our same funeral arrangements taken place in the United States.
But very different from how the Egyptians used to do.
