I have been looking everywhere for variations between the funerals of Sunni Muslims and Shi'ite Muslims -
The only thing so far that i can find is that shi'ites have more elaborate headstones.

Our teacher told us we need to mention the difference between variants of the religious traditions but she is having trouble finding any information on this one..

*Please note* i have already researched this through the sor forums and have not found any solid answers

PLease help if you Can!!! :confused:

you may have already looked at these but these sites should answer your question.

Note that there doesnt have to be a major variance for it to be a difference between variants! ie they stay loyal to the rite no matter what variant they are!
