In Jainism, there are no “special services for the dead” in the sense of:

• praying to “save” the departed soul, or
• monthly/annual rituals like Shrāddh meant to feed or satisfy ancestors.

Such ideas do not belong to pure Jain Dharma. The soul moves on instantly according to its own karma.

However, there are simple, sober Jain practices around death, mainly for the spiritual benefit of the living and in respectful memory of the departed:

1. At the time of dying

- Family usually recites: - Navkār (Namokār) Mantra calmly, - sometimes Uvasaggaharam / Logassa etc., depending on tradition. - Atmosphere is kept peaceful, with focus on: - forgiveness (Michchhāmi Dukkaḍaṃ), - detachment, - remembrance of the soul, not the body. You can read more here

1. Immediately after death (funeral / cremation)

- Body is usually cremated simply, without Vedic “agni-saṃskār” type rituals. - No belief that the ceremony itself gives moksha; it is done with minimum himsā and show. You can read more here

1. For the family in the days after

- Common practices: - Reciting Navkār Mantra, doing sāmāyik, pratikraman, svādhyāy. - Doing dān / jīvadayā (charity, animal welfare) in memory of the departed. - Many communities keep a short period of mourning and keep functions simple, but: - there is no scriptural doctrine of “impurity” (sutak/ashauch) that makes dharma or temple visit “forbidden”; customs vary by sangh.

1. What Jainism does not teach

- No Shrāddh month or Pitru-paksha style services. - No ritual believed to “pull up” the soul or change its gati after death. - Emphasis is always on: - one’s own right faith, conduct, and detachment, - using the reminder of death to deepen sādhanā.

So: yes, Jains have simple, calm, dharmic observances around death, but not elaborate “services for the dead” meant to affect the departed soul’s destiny.
