- (continued from previous page)If the corpse doesn't stiffen for a long time after death it is a sign of more deaths in the family in the near future. If the funeral cortege gets divided so that there is a gap in the funeral between the the cars it is a sign that there will be another death in the family before long.
It is believed that the dead relatives come for a person when dying. I myself only two months ago heard my mother (R.I.P) a few hours before dying (she had previously mentioned the names of the dead members of the family) say! - They are coming to carry me now'!- Collector
