- (continued from previous page)men fill in the grave and when that is done all the people kneel down and pray for the dead person. When all the people are gone away the friends spread flowers on top other grave. Most families have tombstones over their graves. Three graves are usually allotted to each family. The coffins are usually put down six feet in the graves and in some places they are put much farther down.
