   Local customs at wakes and funerals

   Immediately after death has taken place and the corpse has become cool the body is washed and laid out, and seven candles are placed beside the bed on a small table, six lighting and one quenched. The one quenched candle is supposed to represent the dead person. All the people around the neighbourhood come to say a prayer for the dead person. Long ago it was the custom to give every man,woman and child , whom came to the wake, a clay pipe filled with tobacco, but during the great war this custom died away and it is now no longer in use. The dead person is usually waked for two nights and two days. Then the coffin and hearse are ordered, and when the evening comes the remains are taken to the chapel.
