Here is your answer
Death rites are generally the only life cycle ritual that Theravāda Buddhist monks get involved in and are therefore of great importance. A distinctive ritual unique to funeral rites is the offering of cloth to monks. This is known as paṃsukūla in Pali, which means "forsaken robe".
Buddhists believe death is part of the process of life, which occurs in a cyclical pattern of death and rebirth until a person reaches Nirvana. Meditation on the purpose of death is encouraged as a means to prepare for one's final moments with a calm and peaceful mind and reach Nirvana to end the cycle of rebirth.
