- A Story about a DeathLong ago when people died the neighbours of the village used to come in to the house when the person was dead and say the rosary. At the wake the old women used to be snuffing and smoking clay pipes. Then they would wrap in white sheets and put the corpse on a bier and bring it to the graveyard and bury it.Got by John Cahaln Lackafinna, Bulllaun, Loughrea.
