- When a person dies in a house the clock is stoppedWhoever shaves the corpse keeps the razor.The straw on which the corpse is washed is put under nearest tree.No ashes is put out.At a funeral four of same name carry the coffin if they can be got.The funeral travels longest way to the chapel or graveyard.A gap in a funeral [?] is the sign of another death in that village.If a pearson sees a rainbow resting on a village it is the sign of a death in the village where it rests.
