death
when a person dies eyes are still open,they are said to be awaiting the arrival of more souls of family members.
it is considered inauspicious to speak ill of the dead.
the inexplicable howling of dogs is to foretell the death in the household.
a last meal is often laid for the departed spirit, to assure them a good passage to the next world.
a candle is often lit to"light their way."
when a person dies at home, all the windows in the house should be opened to allow the
soul to depart easily.
mirrors are covered so the dead will not be startled by their reflection.
