“For three hours after a person dies...”
For three hours after a person dies anybody should not cry for fear they would awaken the evil spirits that watch for his soul as it goes go God.If the dead owe any money they say they come back again and ask somebody to pay it for them.If the day of a funeral is wet it is a sign that the dead person has gone to heaven but if fine that he is still suffering.
