[523] In the “Sarum Manual” the rules which follow death began with a Commendatio Animarum [Exequiis] consisting of psalms and prayers for the dead. The body was then washed and laid on a bier; vespers for the day were said, followed by the Vigiliæ Mortuorum, divided into several parts, the special vespers and special matins known from their respective antiphons as the Placebo and Dirige. The body was then carried in procession to church. There the Missa Mortuorum was said, and after it came the Inhumatio defuncti.
