Being dead none will come near the house for many days, lest they should be defiled.

The better sort burn the dead, because worms and maggots should not eat them.

[They send for a Priest to pray for his Soul.] Some days after his decease, if his friends wish well to his Soul, they send for a Priest to the house, who spends a whole night in praying and singing for the saving of that Soul.

And to encourage them therein, he tells them that the like bounty and liberality as they shew to him, shall the Soul of their departed friend receive in the other world.
