  1. Funeral Customs

    Share Share Post
    You should never go to the funeral of your first child. You should never cry after a young baby because God took it and because it is going to be a little angel of God.
    It is said that you should never bring a young baby into a grave-yard.
    Long ago they used to say that when a person would die and be buried that a head would rise at the top of the grave.
