Funeral Attendance

[Ishna]

Hi everyone

A respected member of my local sangat passed away last week . I've been given the details of the funeral at my city's main secular funeral place, and also to the 'prayers' this coming Saturday at Gurdwara Sahib. I can't attend the funeral today, but I'd like to go to the prayers on Saturday to pay my respect to the family.

It's a Malaysian-style sangat.

Any ideas what I can expect on Saturday? Is there anything customary I should be aware of?

Any guidance in this is much appreciated. I've been to lots of Anand Karaj ceremonies at Gurdwara Sahib but nothing funeral-related.

Many thanks

This is simple..just like normal gurdwara diwan. There will be kirtan session... a reading of SGGS..BHOG and ardass and Hukmnamah. Nothing out of the way. Just Matha tek and be seated. Guru ak langgar will follow.
