To the contrary of many beliefs which still exist on earth, Islam looked as death as a tunnel or a path leading to the other eternal life which a man prepares for himself, in heaven or in hell, depending on his belief and deeds whether good or bad.

Whe a Muslim dies, male or female, he will be taken to place where he is washed as he takes a shower during his life. A living Muslim when taking, what westerners call a shower, he actually doing more than a shower, he is purifying himself from moral and material dirts whether taking a normal daily shower or after having sex since he cannot do his prayers or read the Quran before purifying himself.

A Living Muslim will first of all clean his breeding organs, then his hand and starts making the Wadoo' "ablution", by cleaning his hand, mouth, right hand to elbow, then left hand to elbow, then thoroughly cleans head, hair, body, then rinse his head, the right shoulder and body part, then the left shoulder and body part, then showers the whole body at the end with the minimal water possible since water and all means of life are very important to mankind and a Muslim must rationialize in all his life.

This is exactly what Muslim do the dead Muslims. They shower them exactly as explained above. A man is showered a man, usally by a relative or a close friend, and woman by a relative or afriend woman. Some majsids (mosques) or hospital have special employees to do these things.

Note: In both cases, a woman or a man's breeding organs are kept under cover during wahsing.

After that they are dried, perfumed with special perfumes and coverd with three whitle towels for the man "covered in full" body, the top is tied on his head and the bottom tied below his feet.

Women are covered with 7 white towels to make sure nonthing of her body is uncovered during the funeral or barrial. All women body is not to be seen by men.

Then he/she will be taken to the modque "Masjid" to pray on him/her before taken to the grave and lied on the right shoulder facing the Kaba'a in Makkah.

This is actually a preparation to meet the angles in the grave and Allah subhanahu Wata'al on the other life.

Allah said in the holy Quran:

"And for every nation is a [specified] term. So when their time has come, they will not remain behind an hour, nor will they precede [it]. (34)"

and

Indeed, Allah [alone] has knowledge of the Hour and sends down the rain and knows what is in the wombs. And no soul perceives what it will earn tomorrow, and no soul perceives in what land it will die. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted. (34)

What rituals and prayers happen in the Catholic funeral that demonstrates a belief in life after death?

Roman Catholic AnswerThe number one ritual and prayer for the deceased is a funeral or requiem Mass in which the person is commended to God, and prayers are offered to ease him in Purgatory. The Catholic belief is not so much in a life after death, as a continued life without the body. God put us on this earth as a trial, He gave us completely free will, and revealed to us what we are to do with it. When He created us out of nothing, He made us immortal. Every single thing you do on this earth is constituting you as the kind of person you are going to be in eternity. Every single thing that the Church does is to insure your eternal bliss in heaven.

Why are ten men required at a Jewish funeral?

In Judaism, community prayer requires the participation of a minimum of 10 men, regardless of the type of service. This is to make sure that HaShem hears their prayers. The reason the requirement is 10 men and not 10 women or men and women, is because Jewish belief states that the prayers of women are easily heard by HaShem.
