It is customary 4 the body to be buried with its possessions. If a soldier died in battle, it would be likely that he would be buried with his armor and sword. It was customary for the woman to take care of the burial of the dead body. It was their job to wash the body, and then sprinkle it with flowers. The eyes should be closed so that the soul will not escape. The body might be presented to the public for two days so that the death could be mourned by the public. Afterwards, the body would be taken to its final resting place to be buried. During 800 BC, Ancient Greeks still believed in burials in pits, but in 600bc, there were more modern ways of burial.

Also, how could i introduce my topic without jumping right into the information?
You could improve it by spelling it "rites" instead of "rights"....
one thing you should mention was the custom of placing coins on the eyelids - although this more took place with cremation, it was common with burial too - in order to pay for their passage into the land of the shades.
