Wiccans hold a ritual called "A Passing" or "Crossing The River" for the recently deceased. This ritual is a formal spiritual request to the gods to aid the soul of the person through the "rivers" that separate this "mundane world" from the "spiritual world." It is also a time for grievance and/or celebration of the deceased one's former life. The emotional feel of the ceremony is customarily accepted by the host of the event {i.e. the closest loved one.} There are many different variations of this custom depending on Tradition. You can contact an outside coven to hold one of these for your departed one. It is not usually reccommended that one perform this alone, because of the "emotional pull" that one has during this time, and the general rule of thumb is to seek out mediating council. If mediating council is not achievable, you may perform this alone... but do so when your emotional structure is firm. Also, the mediator person is here to share this time with you, and to feel what you feel... and most Wiccans agree that it is good to have someone to whom you can "cry on their shoulder" in such times. The actual prayers also vary, depending on what precisely is needed or requested. The goal of a Passing is three-fold... to allow you to grieve appropaitely, to celebrate the departed one's former life, and also to prepare the departed one's soul for their transitioning journey into the afterlife. An example Passing prayer that would be utilized in the Passing ritual would be the following {you may of course adapt it to your needs and wishes}: "Time has passed, the Wheel has turned. It is time for you [person's name] to move on. You will walk hand in hand with the Lord and Lady and with your ancestors who came before you. Great Mother, welcome [name of person] back into your womb. And Great Father welcome him/her back into your divine instruction. Let [him/her] come to you and know that he/she has been blessed by your gracious gift of Life. Let him/her come into your Divine Love, and let him/her know that he/she has left behind a life of legacy... that he shall be remembered and loved. As he/she enters your world, wrap him/her in your loving arms, and welcome him/her back home. Let him/her speak to the Ancient Ones and to learn the greater mysteries that lie beyond the veil. Give him/her the strength to take these final steps, and allow him/her to do so with peace and dignity. Those of us left behind shall indeed mourn his/her death, but we shall also know that his/her Soul and Spirit is coming back to Holy Mother and Holy Father, and that he/she shall be made whole again. We shall cry, but we shall also laugh, for we shall celebrate the Life that had been given to [person's name.] And let him/her also know that as we now merry part, that we shall also merry meet again. And we now, with these candles {light candles} respect the flame of [person's name]'s life, and though these candle flames shall die out, we know that [person's name] shall live on, and his/her flame shall never cease to burn, and we also know that he/she shall be reborn anew. Take him by the hand and guide him back into your heart, for this is what is right and just. Let him/her walk unerringly down the path that leads to your Love. This is our will and so mote it be. Amen and Amen."
