- Long ago when a person would die on the side of the road and when the funeral would be passing by everyone used to be at the funeral used to throw a stone on the spot where the person died.Another custom was when a father or a mother of a family used to die and if the children were young they used to make the children cross the grave three times so they would forget them.
