The equations governing dissipative relativistic hydrodynamics are formulated within the 3+1 approach for arbitrary spacetimes. Dissipation is accounted for by applying the theory of extended causal thermodynamics (Israel-Stewart theory). This description eliminates the causality violating infinite signal speeds present in the conventional Navier-Stokes equation. As an example we treat the astrophysically relevant case of stationary and axisymmetric spacetimes, including the Kerr metric. The equations take a simpler form whenever the inertia due to the dissipative contributions can be neglected.
