Editing Funeral (section)

===Bahá'í Faith===
Funerals in the [[Bahá'í Faith]] are characterized by not embalming, a prohibition against cremation, using a [[Chrysolith|chrysolite]] or hardwood casket, wrapping the body in silk or cotton, burial not farther than an hour (including flights) from the place of death, and placing a ring on the deceased's finger stating, "I came forth from God, and return unto Him, detached from all save Him, holding fast to His Name, the Merciful, the Compassionate." The Bahá'í funeral service also contains the only prayer that is permitted to be read as a group – congregational prayer, although most of the prayer is read by one person in the gathering. The Bahá'í decedent often controls some aspects of the Bahá'í funeral service, since leaving a will and testament is a requirement for Bahá'ís. Since there are no Bahá'í clergy, services are usually conducted under the guise, or with the assistance of, a Local [[Spiritual Assembly]].<ref>{{Cite book |title=Kitáb-i-Aqdas |publisher=Baháʼu'lláh}}</ref>
