- Wake and Funeral CustomsLong ago when a person died the corpse was not "laid out" in the same way in which it is laid out now. It was placed on a long table and a quilt put over it. It was kept two nights in the house and not brought to the Chapel at all. While the wake was going on every man who came into the house got a pipe and tobacco and every woman got a pinch of snuff. When the day of the funeral came, men carried the corpse to the churchyard on a bier.Before the corpse was put into the coffin, it was wrapped in a sheet. When the funeral was leaving the house the "caoiners’ used to march before the corpse to the churchyard, and when the churchyard was reached the coffin was left on the edge of the grave and prayers were said over it.The ban-shee is still believed in in this district.Patrick Lennon (Scoláire)Got from - John Farrell (74)
