    the grave-yard in a herce. Most of the people of the district go to the funeral. When they reach the grave-yard four men take the coffin out of the herce and bring it to the grave. When the coffin is put into the grave it is unlocked and the priest says prayers over the coffin. The coffin is then covered and the people leave the grave-yard.
    All the friends and relations of the dead person are in mourning for a year after the persons death and they wear black clothes or a piece of a black cloth on their coat for a year.
