<![CDATA[Funeral rites are an important part of Islamic religious practice; however, elementary school children may not always have opportunities to acquire direct knowledge and practical experience of funeral rites. This community service activity aimed to provide basic knowledge and practical experience of funeral rites to elementary school children in Jorong Paraman through a simple learning process adapted to the participants’ characteristics. The activity was conducted on July 3, 2026, at Kampung Tangah Prayer Room, Jorong Paraman, involving seven elementary school students. The activity employed a training method using demonstration and direct practice, consisting of material presentation, demonstrations, question-and-answer sessions, and guided practice using simple materials. The practice covered washing, shrouding, and performing the funeral prayer, while the burial procedure was explained briefly. Evaluation was conducted through oral questions and direct observation during the practice. The results showed that all seven participants were able to answer questions related to the material and follow the practical activities with guidance. The contribution of this activity lies in providing direct learning experiences of funeral rites through a simple small-group learning approach that can be easily applied in the community. Thus, training combined with demonstration and direct practice can serve as an initial approach to introducing basic funeral-rite skills to elementary school children. Quantitative improvement in knowledge could not be determined because the evaluation did not use pre-test and post-test instruments.]]>
