A close family member recently passed away and I want to know if there are any practices I can perform to ensure they have a smooth transition into whatever form their energy takes on next. Thanks.

I will meet people in he astral and use the image of he river of Styx to escort them to meet whoever shows up on the other side. Failing that I call someone I know to take them, maybe The Morrighan.

I’m sorry for your loss. From personal experience I can recommend Bune if you’d like to send someone that makes their transition easier (especially if there might have been a struggle beforehand). She is really calm and non-scary/dramatic about the whole process.

You can call upon a psychopomp for them. If they were Christian, you could call archangel Azrael to escort them.

Thank you. I already have a working relationship with Bune so I think this will be the best course of action. Much appreciated.

My sympathies. I hope you get the chance and time to mourn properly.
I usually do my own subtle sort of “release service” at funerals/ cremations when you walk out passing the casket. I try to connect to the image or energy (or combination) of the person and pause for a short moment next to the casket and wish them a good journey with all the feeling of love and joy for the time I had with them I can muster up.
My thought behind it is, especially at a funeral, if the remnants or energy of the deceased is still here there’s a lot of missing the person and refusing to let go of the person. Which is a healthy thing on that moment for the loved ones left behind, but I can imagine it might be a little confusing for the spirit of the deceased in an already wildly confusing moment. I like to add a little loving “it’s ok, you can go now” intention at the end of it. Just to make sure they have even a little bit of an extra nudge helping them to find their way.
And even if it does nothing at all, it always leaves me feeling a little more at peace with their passing especially if the funeral service was a heavy one.
