“Outline sacred and secular views towards life after death”
According to some religious views, death is not the end. Many religions believe that when you die you will be judged and be sent to heaven or hell.
Islam belies that when people die they must be washed and dressed in a white cloth to show purity. Then they can be judged by Allah to go to either paradise or hell.
Jews believe a body should be buried in concentrated ground, this is also for purity. When preparing a body, Jews wear white. But at the funeral black is worn and the family should wear a black jumper and tear it in mourning. There is then seven days of mourning and a celebration to show the happiness of the afterlife. Jews also believe that death is a part of life and that spirits should return to God.
