No but I have been taught that when someone dies his/her spirit needs to be put at peace and the only way to do that is praying.
Anyone ever explain to you how that's supposed to work (or why it can work no other way...why, without prayer, there is no peace?), or did they leave it at the status of a "just so" story?
