The Prophet (said) said: A bier should not be followed by a loud voice (of wailing) or fire. Abu Dawud said: Harun (one of the narrators) added: "And it should not be preceded (with those) either."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ تُتْبَعُ الْجَنَازَةُ بِصَوْتٍ وَلاَ نَارٍ زَادَ هَارُونُ وَلاَ يُمْشَى بَيْنَ يَدَيْهَا
