  1. Funeral Customs Here

    Share Share Post
    If a man dies he is buried on the third day. If he is to be buried on Monday , one sod of his grave is to be cut on the evening before, because it is not lucky to redden a green field on Monday. The rest of the grave is dug out on Monday. There should not be any torn clothes put on the corpse. And when the clothes are on, no stitch should be put on them, or no pins should be put on them.
