Each pre-colonial culture had a different burial and mourning practice, all of which vary widely. Some involve cremation of the body, and others involve interrment of the body beneath a large burial mound. Some mourning practices involve large dances and celebrations of life, while others are much more sorrowful. The pre-colonial cultures each expressed their sorrow differently, and processed the loss of a life in unique ways.
The process of taking a corpse and preparing it for burial is called mummification.

The Field of Mourning is a concept in psychology referring to the emotional space and process of grieving a loss. It encompasses the deep emotions, memories, and experiences associated with bereavement and mourning. It is seen as a natural and necessary part of the healing process after experiencing a significant loss.
Mourning traditions vary from culture to culture. There is no standard model in the Catholic Church because Catholocism has been embraced by so many cultures around the world and has accommodated a variety of local traditions. Even more so, there is no uniform Christian mourning tradition. The Jewish tradition divides mourning into segments: Between death and burial, the mourners are exempt from all religious obligations. For the 7 days after burial, the mourners are expected to stay home, supported by their community which convenes prayer services at the home for the mourners. Until 30 days after the burial, the mourners are expected to live soberly, avoiding frivolous activity. For 11 months after burial, the mourners should attend religious services daily to say the Mourner's Kaddish. One year after burial, it is traditional to set the headstone at the grave. On the anniversary of the death, Jewish mourners also try to say the Mourner's Kaddish.

The process of mourning the death of a loved one is very structured in Judaism. The initial seven day period of mourning starts after the burial of the deceased and is the most intense part of the mourning process. During shiva, the mourners don't have to worry about taking care of themselves, the community takes care of them instead. The mourners don't leave their home for these 7 days and friends and family comfort them. The overall process of mourning in Judaism is guided by Torah and exists to ensure that an appropriate amount of time is allowed for an adequate amount and expression of grief. From the Jewish perspective, this is necessary for the mental and emotional health of the mourners.
