In Celtic tradition, it was believed that good weather at the time of death heralded a peaceful passing, and people wished a bas sóna ("happy death") would be the fate of each and every person. Here are some traditional prayers recited for a sacred passing:

You go home tonight to your
home of winter
To your home of autumn,
and spring, and summer
You go home this night to
your eternal home.

Sleep now, sleep, and away
with your sorrow
The sleep of the seven lights
be yours, beloved T
he sleep of the seven joys be
yours, beloved.

Death without fear, with joy
and forgiveness
As the Sun of the skies pours
its love on your body
As you travel to the dwelling
place of peace.

Sleep now, sleep, and away
with your sorrow
A death of peace and
tranquility
This night the brightness
and summertime shall
come!
