The Description of the Funeral Prayer

Question
What is the detailed manner of performing the funeral prayer according to the Hanafi school? And what is the meaning of the praise after the first Takbir?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The funeral prayer consists of four takbirs. After the first takbir, the opening supplication is recited: "Glory be to You, O Allah, and praise be to You..." After the second takbir, the Ibrahimic prayer is recited. After the third, a supplication for the deceased and for the Muslims is made. After the fourth, the prayer is concluded with peace. And Allah knows best.
