मनुस्मृति - धर्म

मृतं शरीरमुत्सृज्य काष्ठलोष्टसमं क्षितौ ।
विमुखा बांधवा यान्ति धर्मस्तमनुगच्छति ॥

- मनुस्मृति

Relatives will leave the dead body just like they would leave dry wood or a lump of mud. No one will follow you to the world of after-life. It is only results of the Dharma you followed all your life that will follow you and help/hurt you in the after-life.
