Biblical manner of burying the dead - mcgi review topic by brother Eli Soriano

According to the bible, the way a dead body Should be buried is to start by preparing the dead body, by washing and anointing it with precious oil, embalm it then rap it up with a linen cloth, place the body in a coffin.
The burial is supposed to take place in a tomb, or a grave in the compound, the location of the tomb is always outside the walls of the city.

The pastor, the mourner's and the family will accompany the body to the burial place, after lowering the body into the grave it will be sealed with a stone to stop the body from disturbing.
The process of burying the body was a sign of respect for the human body that was created in God's image.
Burial shows that the body is significant and will one day be resurrected.
This biblical way of burial was standard in both the old and the new testament and is also part of the christian tradition to bury the dead today.
