The Sikh funeral ceremony is crucial to Sikh culture as it emphasizes the belief in the impermanence of life, the significance of commemorating the departed with affection and admiration, and establishing a connection with IkOankar (the Divine).

Death is essentially the end of human life; the rites and customs related to it are included in the funeral ceremony. The primary aim of this ceremony is to return the body to the natural elements from which it is formed by fire, water, soil, etc.

1984 Path of the Warrior Saints

Alahania, a sorrowful Punjabi folk song, emphasizes the belief in IkOankar, the all-powerful force behind existence. It reflects on the transient nature of life, where attachment to worldly things leads to suffering and perpetuates the cycle of birth and death. However, those who meditate on IkOankar's divine essence and follow the teachings of wisdom find liberation. They embrace death as a natural part of existence and remain immersed in IkOankar's presence, radiating love and joy.
