Everyone wears black at the funerals. The coffins and grave site was draped in black. The body was washed and then put in a sheet until the funeral. Candles were commonly used to light the spirits' way. People normally feasted following the funeral (even if they were poor). Mostly everyone in the community could attend the funerals.
