  1. Funeral Customs

    Share Share Post
    Snuff and tobacco is given at the wakes usually. When the funeral is passing the house the people shut the door and pull down the blind. The feet of the crops come out the door first.
    The crops is never left alone in the house, someone always stays in the house. If a person meets a funeral on the road he goes a piece of the road.
