This weekend the woman who I loved as if she was my grandmother passed away. I’m a new Catholic and I’m not sure what prayers are said at the coffin. I’m really appreciate it if someone can guide me.

Thanks
 
Dear maltmom…I will pray for you and your friend who died. I usually say a Hail Mary when I visit at the viewing…You can say whatever you want. Some people also say, May her soul and all the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace…Amen…TeresaDiane:harp:
 
I am sorry for you lost

A traditional prayer is

Eternal rest, grant unto her O Lord
and let perpetual light shine upon her.
May she rest in peace (Amen)

May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen.
 
Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord
And let perpetual light shine upon her
May she rest in peace
AMEN
 
Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace. Amen.

(Maltmom, this is a good prayer to pray at your friend’s coffin. You could add whatever other prayers you know. God bless.)
 
Thank you everyone. I did as you suggested. I appreciate all of the prayers for her, her family and friends. The funeral is today. :grouphug:
 
Praying for you and for the repose of your friend’s soul.
