Halakhah sa Isaias 25:8: Shulchan Arukh, Yoreh De'ah

One who carries bones from place to place should not put them in a sack or saddle-bag and place them across [the back of] an ass and sit on them, because it is a disrespectful way of treating them;³³Ber. 18a. Cf. supra § 282, 3. The same would apply to one who transports the bones by any other means of conveyance — A.H. but if he throws it³⁴The sack containing the bones. over his shoulder on the ass,³⁵While he sits on the ass. it is all right.³⁶Asheri. However, if he was afraid of robbers and rovers, it is permitted [to sit on them].³⁷Ber. ibid. Gloss: [R. Meir used to say, it is written, 'It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting; for that is the end of all men] and the living will lay it to heart',³⁸Eccl. VII, 2. [viz.,] matters pertaining to death; if one makes a lamentation, others will make a lamentation for him; if one helps at burial, others will bury him; if one carries [the bier], others will carry him; if one raises [his voice in funereal lamentations], others will raise [their voice] for him.³⁹M.K. 28b a.e. Great is the peace that was given to the righteous, for when a righteous man departs [this world] three companies of ministering Angels extend to him a greeting of peace,⁴⁰Tur, Asheri and Kol Bo — G. and exclaim, 'He shall enter into peace'.⁴¹Is. LVII, 2. entire passage in Ket. 104a. (And everyone that is written unto life shall be called holy).⁴² Is. IV, 3.
'HE WILL SWALLOW UP DEATH FOR EVER; AND THE LORD GOD, WILL WIPE AWAY TEARS FROM OFF ALL FACES'.⁴³Is. XXV, 8, cited in last Mishna of M.K. (28b) as a comforting conclusion.
