Preferably, a Hindu should die at home accompanied by his/her friends and family who sing sacred hymns, pray, and read or chant sacred verses. All this is intended to keep the focus of the dying person on Brahman. The most common pray is:
Goodness, love, grace, and gentleness,
Courtesy, friendship, and modesty,
Honesty, penance, and chastity,
Charity, respect, reverence, and truthfulness,
Purity and self-control,
Wisdom and worship –
All these together are perfect virtue,
And are the word of the loving Lord.
Also, the most common verse is from Bhagwad Gita:
वासांसि जीर्णानि यथा विहाय नवानि गृह्णाति नरोऽपराणि |
तथा शरीराणि विहाय जीर्णा न्यन्यानि संयाति नवानि देही
vāsānsi jīrṇāni yathā vihāya navāni gṛihṇāti naro ’parāṇi
tathā śharīrāṇi vihāya jīrṇānya nyāni sanyāti navāni dehī
As a person sheds worn-out garments and wears new ones, likewise, at the time of death, the soul casts off its worn-out body and enters a new one.
