    A person was not supposed to go home from a wake alone - not supposed to visit the sick from funeral. The mother should not go to her first child's funeral. A pregnant woman shold not go into the graveyard, or touch a dead person.
    If a person met a funeral on the road, they should walk back three steps with it.
