- Wakes and Funerals.
After a person dies in a house, there is usually a wake on that night and when they are going to be buried there is a funeral.
Long ago about fifty years ago there used to be wakes and funerals also but they were a little different from those at the present time.

Sometimes they used to have a quarter cask of porter so it was cheap at that time. They just keep the dead in about a day and a night now.
They had a lot of customs on the night of the wake. All the men would have clay pipes to smoke on that night and a person used to go around with cut tobacco on a plate and they used to give it to those who had not clay pipes to chew it and they used to give them snuff out of a little box and you would not hear anything on that night but everybody sneezing.
