Islamic customs:
The actual funeral service is typically brief. It’s mainly comprised of saying the funeral prayers. There is no eulogy.
Men and women typically sit separately. Traditionally the women sit at the back.
An Imam (Islamic priest) or the oldest male family member stands at the front facing Mecca, and the body is placed in front of him.
With his back to the mourners, he presents the funeral prayer.

A Muslim funeral is very quiet. There should be no talking to one another. Even the prayers are mainly said silently with only parts of them spoken aloud.
After the prayers, the deceased is taken to the burial location, usually carried by male family members.

Dress code: mourners generally wear white. However, it’s also appropriate to wear drab and dark colors that fit the somber occasion, such as black, brown, and gray. It’s a good idea to bring a headscarf to cover your hair and neck.
