In the Lutheran Church they have the sacrament of the last rites. As King Frederick William I of Prussia (the "Soldier King") lay dying the clergyman at his bedside said 'Naked came you into this world and naked will you depart hence'. The King opened his eyes, said, 'Not quite naked, for I shall be wearing the uniform of a Field Marshal of the Brandenburg Royal Guard' and then expired.
