 No family member of the dead can help carry the casket.

 According to tradition, during the wake, the family must

put money in the hands of the dead and take it back before
the burial, so they can enjoy financial success when they
keep the money in their wallets or use it for business.

 No one is allowed to wear anything red when someone dies.

 Family members would have to go through the wake

without taking a bath or take that bath in a neighbor’s
place.

 The house is not allowed to be cleaned up, even sweeping the

floor is not allowed, no matter how dirty it becomes.

 It is not good for a family member to walk guests out of the

house when there is a wake. And nobody knows why.

 Crying is so much a part of the grieving process, but it is not

good to shed tears near the casket because “they” say it is
bad for tears to fall on the casket. “They” also say that it is
not proper for family members to thank those who have
given them favors or donations for the dead.

 All donations for the dead must be fully spent for the dead.
