Among the many prayers for the departed that you can recite, Psalm 130 - known under its Latin name as De Profundis - is often said at a funeral. It is a beautiful text from the Scriptures that describes God’s powerful mercy and that allows you to ask the Lord to forgive the sins of the departed, so they may be saved; though this version only includes verses 1 to 2.
Lyrics (Latin):De profundis clamavi ad te, Domine;
Domine, exaudi vocem meam
Lyrics (English):
Out of the depths I cry to you, Lord;
Lord, hear my voice.
