If you mean with regard to preparing a dead body ready for burial/cremation, they leave it to professional funeral personnel. There is no religious requirement as to preparation, apart from the usual respect.

∙ 13y agoThis would depend on the local custom. Generally speaking the body is not DISPLAYED.
There is no religious mandate to not touch the body but "holding" a dead body would generally be too traumatic for friends and family and even if such were a local custom individual Witnesses would no doubt chose not to do so.

Additionally, a faithful JW would be strongly opposed to attending a service where their is an Anglo/Catholic celebrant, i.e. priests, present as they consider these individuals to be satanic.

Jehovah's Witnessess beleife that death is not the final part of life.
John chapter 5 verses 28 and 29 says:
"Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a ressuraction of life, those who practiced vile things to a resurection of judgement."
They beleive they will see their lvoed ones again. They would rather look to the future then the past. Contact local Witnesses for more information.
