Because Mormons believe that everyone must receive certain ordinances to be saved, Mormons perform ordinances on behalf of deceased persons.
These ordinances are performed vicariously or by " proxy " on behalf of the dead.
In accordance with their belief in each individuals " free agency ", living or dead, Mormons believe that the deceased may accept or reject the offered ordinance in the spirit world, just as all spirits decided to accept or reject God's plan originally.
In addition, these " conditional " ordinances on behalf of the dead are performed only when a deceased person's genealogical information has been submitted to a temple and correctly processed there before the ordinance ritual is performed.
Only ordinances for salvation are performed on behalf of deceased persons.
