In Buddhism:

There are observed 49 days after passing in which the soul is in a Bardo state. Garchen Institute is performing Jangchock periodically. You can find more details here: https://garchen.net/annual-events/ including prayer texts and you can send the names of the departed to dedications@garchen.net by Wednesday prior to the Jangchock. There is also Jangchock for the living.

There is a book by Shunmyo Masuno that I started reading and reached the pages with the departed but haven't read them yet. The book is called "Don't worry: 48 lessons on Achieving Calm".

Here is a poem to contemplate of No-coming, No-going from Plum Village:

Contemplation on No-coming, No-going

This body is not me.
I am not limited by this body.
I am life without boundaries
I have never been born,
and I have never died.

Look at the ocean and the sky filled with stars,
manifestations from my wondrous True Mind.

Since before time, I have been free.
Birth and death are only doors through which we pass,
sacred thresholds on our journey.
Birth and death are a game of hide-and-seek.

So laugh with me,
hold my hand,
let us say good-bye,
say good-bye, to meet again soon.

We meet today.
We will meet again tomorrow.
We will meet at the source every moment.
We meet each other in all forms of life.
