Funeral ceremony of Janati's wife

Instead, family members transport the body directly to a mosque for the funeral. In many cases, the funeral won’t actually take place in the main interior section of the mosque itself. It may take place in a courtyard, community square, or another similar area on the property. 

Mourners will usually bring or receive a small Quran. This allows them to follow along with the funeral readings and prayers the Imam recites. In most cases, the body and all the mourners will be facing Mecca throughout the process, and the attendees will stand in three (or more if necessary) lines: adult men in front, children behind them, and women in the back.
