The body is kept in the house for seven days before cremation and during the six evenings, monks come and pray. A picture of the person who has passed away can be found on the coffin.

What do Buddhists wear to a Buddhist funeral?

Buddhism has adapted to different cultures in different places; it did not start out with any particular rituals around death -- since it was an anti-ritual sort of religion. However, different cultures have different customs. If attending a funeral of an American Buddhist you should wear what Americans wear to funerals. Aside from that, you would be wise to ask a member of the family, the Buddhist group, or a close friend of the deceased for advice.
