    (continued from previous page)
    It is not right to throw out the dust of house on the day there is a corpse at the house.
    If it rains while a corpse is being conveyed to the church or from that to the grave it is said that that soul will go to heaven.
    A clock should be stopped in the house when a person dies.
    To dream of a wedding is the sign of a death.
    To hear cocks crowing is the sign of a death.
    If a person hears death bells ringing in his ears it is the sign of a death.
