[Ritual washing, another aspect of care].
After death, mortuary staff attend to the deceased and his or her family until the deceased leaves the institution. Washing, dressing, presentation of the body and dealing with requests for information form part of this aspect of care. Religious practices, such as the ritual washing of the body may be requested by the family. As with all forms of care given to the deceased, staff facilitate the carrying out of such practices.
