The word is 'excommunicated'. If a person says or does things publicly that are against the teachings of the church they can be excommunicated. It means being cut off from membership with the church. In practical terms these days, this only amounts to a cutting off from the church where one was a member. Many churches do not practice this anyway, but when it is done it often simply results in the person going to another church which doesn't discipline its members. This of course defeats the purpose, which is to lead the person to repentance.
It depends on your beliefs. In the catholic and orthodox churches where there is a belief in purgatory, it is traditional to pray for the souls of the dead, and potentially to have the individual remembered during the mass. In other churches where there is no belief in purgatory this is not done. however visiting the grave seems appropriate if possible.

The reson the pope shut down all the churches in England was because the 2 of them had an argument on who would be the next Archbishop of Canturbury.This led to the pope (the holyist man at the time) to get angry at King John. The pope then excommunicated (banished) John from all the churches under his power. I really hoped this helped. :) :) :) :) :) ;) ;) ;( ;)
