when the coffin is taken off the chairs, the people shake holy-water on them, the rest of the holy-water is sprinkled on the house. Four men of the same sirname as the dead person must carry the coffin and put it on the cart, when the cart comes to the graveyard the same four men lift the coffin off it. The priest is the first that puts soil on the coffin.
