If the dead person has got a smile on

his/her face, s/he's taking someone with

him/her! Somebody else is

going to die, somebody s/he

knew!

When the dead person

is taken outside his/her

house, we break a dish to avoid bad instances in

the same house!

When the dead person is in the house, all glass

surfaces have to be covered with a piece

of cloth. The dead person's face must not be reflected on anything! If it does,

somebody in the family is going to

die!

If you go to a funeral, you must taste everything they serve. Bad luck will be on

you if you don't!

During the funeral, you

must spit your breasts if you don't want to die,

or lose someone in your family

soon!

If people carry a dead

person outside your house, close the door, or death will visit your

house, too!
