Blessed be you to the Lord that you have performed this kindness with your lord with Saul, that you buried him.
II SAMUEL (2:5)
בְּרֻכִים אַתֶּם לַי-הֹוָה אֲשֶׁר עֲשִׂיתֶם הַחֶסֶד הַזֶּה עִם אֲדֹנֵיכֶם עִם שָׁאוּל וַתִּקְבְּרוּ אֹתוֹ

Today's Israel Inspiration
In Judaism, the mitzvah of honoring the dead is called the "khesed shel emet," the truest kindness, simply because the recipient has no way of repaying the kindness. With no repayment in sight, the deed of caring for the dignity and burial of the deceased is completely altruistic.
