The Prayer for the Dead should be recited at the funeral if the deceased is 15 years old or more. If there is no one at the funeral able to read, it is sufficient to say only that part of the Prayer which requires the repetition nineteen times of each of six short verses.
The body must be placed in the grave in such a position that the feet point towards 'Akká (the Qiblih). (From a statement prepared by a National Spiritual Assembly in Africa and approved by the Universal House of Justice on 14 June 1982; The Compilation of Compilations, vol. I, Baha’i Burial)
