"O Lord, Lord Almighty, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who desires salvation for all men and the knowledge of the truth, Who desires not death for the sinner, but for his conversion and life. We pray and beseech Thee, release the soul of Thy servant (or Thy servant) from all bonds, free him (her) from all curse and forgive him (her) the sins committed from his youth in deed and word, consciously and unconsciously, both sincerely confessed, and concealed through forgetfulness or shame. For Thou alone loosest the bonds of the bound and restore the prostrate, Thou alone is the hope of the despairing, and Thou art able to forgive the sins of every man who trusts in Thee. Command, O Lord, that he (she) may be freed from the bonds of the flesh and sin. And receive into the kingdom of peace the soul of Thy servant (name) and give it rest in eternal abodes with Thy saints, by the grace of Thy Only-begotten Son, our Lord God and Saviour Jesus Christ, with Whom Thou art blessed, and with Thy Most-Holy, Good, and Life-giving Spirit, now and always, and unto the ages of eternity. Amen."

VII. From the rite of the funeral service (on Meatfare Saturday), pannikhida and burial of the dead.

Stanzas on "Lord I Have Cried", ch.8: 1. "Remembering all the dead, who from the beginning of the world have lived piously, let us, believers, sing praises to the Saviour and Lord, earnestly asking that they may give an answer in the hour of judgment to Him, our God Himself, the Judge of all who live on earth, and with joy be vouchsafed to stand on His right side, on the side of those who please Him, having received participation with the saints in His bright and eternally blessed Heavenly Kingdom." 2. "Saviour, Thou hast redeemed men with Thy blood, hast delivered us from bitter death by Thy death, and by Thy resurrection hast given us eternal life, give rest, O Lord, to all those who have died in piety, wherever they may end their lives, whether in deserts or cities, in the sea or on earth, all rulers, priests, bishops, monks, and laymen of all ages, and vouchsafe them Thy heavenly kingdom." 3. "Christ, through Thy resurrection death no longer possesses those who have died in godliness. Therefore we pray to Thee diligently: give rest to Thy servants (or Thy servant) in Thy blessed dwelling, where Abraham dwells, all who from Adam to the present day have served Thee faithfully, our fathers and brothers, friends and relatives together, and have migrated to Thee in many different ways. O God, vouchsafe them all Thy heavenly kingdom." Slava: "I cry and weep... p.247 (see below Samoglasny, ch.8). In the verse ibid., ch.6: "The beginning of my being... p.247»Stanzas on Praise, ch.8:

1. "Brethren, come before the end comes, consider all the weakness of our nature, all the insignificance of our bodily organs. What is all this? Dust, decay, food of worms. Let us peer into the grave corpses – where is the strength? Where is the beauty of the face? Where is the tongue that spoke intelligent speeches? Where is the shine and brightness of the eyes? "Everything has decayed!" O Saviour, have mercy on us all." 2. "Why does a man deceive himself by deceiving himself? That he fusses in vain; He is dust in a very short time. What will not think that it is no more than rot and decay, and that it will all be mingled with the earth? And if we, people, are rotten and dust, then why do we cling to the earth so much? Why do we not strive for Christ, to Whom we are so close? Oh, despising this limited, fleeting life, let us take care of the incorruptible life, which is Christ, the enlightenment of our souls!" Glory, ch. 2: "As the flower fades, as the shadow disappears, so flashes the life of everyone. And there, when the trumpet of the Archangel is sounded, the dead will all rise up and rush to meet Thee, O Christ God, then, O Lord, dwell the souls of those whom Thou hast already called from us, in Thy eternally blessed Abode."

As the Good and Loving God, forgive him (her, them) every sin committed by him (her, them) in word, or deed, or thought, for there is no person who would live and not sin, since Thou alone is sinless, and Thy justice is eternal justice and Thy word is truth.
