In the practice of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (or "Mormons"), a living person, acting as proxy, is baptized by immersion on behalf of a deceased person.
Dum-dum-dum-dum-dum.
After giving a short prayer that includes the name of the deceased individual, the proxy is immersed briefly in the water, then brought up again.
Dum-dum-dum-dum-dum.
Baptism for the dead is a distinctive ordinance of the church and is based on the belief that baptism is a required ordinance for entry into the Kingdom of God.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints performs vicarious baptisms for individuals regardless of their race, sex, creed, religion, or morality.
Dum-dum-dum-dum-dum.
Some members of the LDS Church have been baptized for both victims and perpetrators of the Holocaust, including Anne Frank and Adolf Hitler, contrary to Church policy.
Dum-dum-dum-dum-dum.
