My grandfather died today. We will have his funeral as soon as possible so that his ghost will not harm the children. His corpse will be washed, wrapped in a white cloth and laid on a bier. Grandfather will be stretched out and buried facing the east. All of our relatives and friends will come to the funeral to ensure that grandfather will go to paradise. During the burial ceremony, the men will pray softly, and the women will walk in a single line, wailing and crying. We will mourn for 40 days because we are not sure where grandfather is going.
