The Egyptians believed that once your dead your spirit or "ka" stays around with your body. They believe that when we die our ka has to be weighed with the feather of maat. If your ka weighed more then the feather you where damned for eternity if your ka was less or even with the feather you would pass on to forever resting place of peace.
The Greeks believe that the moment you die your spirit leaves your body in a little breath. The Greeks had elaborate burial techniechs. They would do all kinds of body preparation then put you in a high bed in your house for people to pay your respects. Greeks thought very highly of death and they did not see it as a very sad time. they were sad for the passing but they were happy for there eternal resting.
