Just like funeral directors provide various kinds of services for the dead, chaplains are (or at least are supposed to be) trained in the essentials of the various religious faiths. Chaplains are found in most hospitals, and serve other institutions where it helps to have a person of faith present. Somewhere in my office, I have a book of prayers for most inter-faith traditions. (yes, it's a Chaplain's handbook - I got at a booksale.)
note: ecumenical usually means Christianity, Judeo-Christian is what it sounds like, Monotheistic covers the Big Three (Judaism, Islam, Christianity), and Inter-faith (or multi-faith) is used for services held for religious/faith purposes, without pointing to a particular religion.
