Before a Sikh funeral service, the body is bathed and dressed in clean clothing. The articles of Sikh faith, called the Kakaars, which the person would have worn during his or her life as an Amritdhari (initiated) Sikh, should not be taken off nor the hair cut or removed from any part of the body.

The articles of Sikh faith are kesh, unshorn hair, kangha, a small wooden comb, kachha (or kachhehra) shorts usually worn as an undergarment, karha, an iron bracelet, kirpan, a sword of unspecified length. If the person was not an Amritdhari Sikh during life, then the relatives would wish that these articles of faith are given and the hair left unshorn. The body may also be surrounded with flowers.

Depending on the customs of certain families, there may be an opportunity to see their loved one before the funeral. There may also be an open casket at a Sikh funeral.
