Preparation for death
'I am not afraid for Keku's spirit. My daughter has prepared well for her death. She will continue in the afterlife in much the same way as she lived with her mother and me. This is a sad occasion yet I am also joyful because, today, Keku is going to paradise - provided she can find her way on the journey through the dangerous underworld and pass the final judgment.
Keku prepared by collecting special objects for her tomb, many of which we bought together at the marketplace. Some, such as amulets and spells, will protect and guide her on the underworld journey. Others, such as food, shabtis and clothing, will provide essential nourishment, leisure and comfort for her eternal spirit.
