Sagdid is a ritual which forms an essential part of a Zoroastrian funeral ceremony. The word "Sagdid" means "glance of the dog". Sagdid involves having a sacred dog watch over a recently deceased body, often before it has been touched by anybody else. The ritual is thought to restore purity, lessen the chance of infection, and more practically the ritual is used to determine if the deceased is truly deceased. Sagdid is also performed over deceased dogs in some instances.
