You should do this but let's look at this.

The body is always taken to the mortuary before burial where it undergoes various process to ensure all burial processes run smoothly.

Among the processes is washing.

This is not just a religious practice as even non religious people carry out the practice.

Before proceeding to the next step, washing is among those process that the body has to undergo.

Washing is a very important process before the body is reserved in the refrigerator.

Lots of people have different beliefs about washing of the body, for example some people believe in the existence of the next life thus by washing the body you are preparing them for the next life.
