    neighbours would make the coffin of a few boards and then cover it over with satin. The people used make out that the coffin should be carried an uneven number of times. The same rule was carried out in the corpsehouse. An un-even number of candles should be lighted. If a cat or dog touch the corpse it is right to drown them.
