    note of those who "laid", also of those who did not "lay" offerings. Of course, they will not lay offerings in the case of a funeral in the family of those who did not "lay 2/6".
    After the offerings the bell is tolled and the funeral proceeds to the cemetery, headed by the priest. The De Prefundis is said at the grave side by the officiating priest.
