  2. Funerals

    Share Share Post
    On the evening of the second day the corpse is removed to the church, by means of a hearse. The relatives of the deceased follow after the hearse in a "covered car" drawn by two horses, or sometimes in a motor. The other friends and neighbours follow after, some in motors, some in side-cars, traps, common cars, saddle-horses, and bicycles. On arrival at the church, the relatives of the dead person carry the coffin from the church.
