How to behave in a cemetery?

Based on popular wisdom, one can understand how to behave correctly at a commemoration and funeral. The signs created have survived to this day.

• According to tradition, one of the places is left for the deceased. It can be decorated, or a photograph of the deceased is placed on it. However, sometimes the place is not celebrated at all, so as not to increase the grief of the relatives. Therefore, before you sit down at the table, you need to find out where such a chair is. Accidentally sitting in the place of the deceased is a bad sign indicating an early death. A person cannot erase from himself the mark of the afterlife.
• On the day of the funeral, you should turn off your phone and not go to social networks. Communication with others can harm both the person himself and others. During the day, a person attracts negative energy to himself, which is accumulated due to grief. Communicating face-to-face or in virtual space, the individual transfers part of the evil to another, which will have a detrimental effect on the future of the friend. And also when communicating with strangers, you can unconsciously collect even more negative energy, which will affect your well-being.
• Despite the general sadness, you should not change the tense atmosphere at the moment when a person is buried. Joking, entertaining others and making them laugh is something that cannot be done at a funeral. The discrepancy between a person's emotions and the environment will lead to the formation of a wrong opinion. It is this nuisance that will become decisive when it comes to relationships with the relatives of the deceased or with his friends. The reputation damaged in their eyes will be difficult to restore.
• According to signs, on the day of the funeral, it is forbidden to say toasts with wishes of love, financial well-being and other benefits. They will turn into negative wishes related to the given area. When toasts, which are aimed at honoring the memory of the deceased or are wishes for him, it is not customary to clink glasses. The first toast should be said by the owner of the house. Then the prepared words are spoken by those asked. You cannot refuse the granted right, otherwise it will be considered as a personal insult to the deceased.
• Bread, pies, rolls and other dough products are broken by hand. After the funeral feast, all the crumbs remaining on the table are taken to the grave. The collected food remains are believed to indicate the actual presence of the deceased at the table.

What cannot be done after the funeral?

On certain days it is necessary to honor the memory of the deceased. Signs and superstitions can also tell you what not to do after the funeral ceremony and how to behave on these sacred dates.

1. If a loved one, as the signs say, was not at the funeral, then he should not communicate with the relatives of the deceased on that day. Even if important matters caused the burial to be missed, such a sign will be considered disrespectful to the deceased. Those who were at the mourning ceremony, on the contrary, should once again contact the relatives of the deceased on this day, thereby showing that they are ready to help these people in the future, despite the death of one of the family members.
2. The Orthodox believe that after three days it is necessary to go to church and light a candle for the deceased servant of God. On this day, it is forbidden to swear: the soul has just entered heaven, and every obscene word hits it like a bullet. Excessive use of abuse by relatives can have a detrimental effect on the decision of the last judgment. Also on the third day it is customary to rewash the items left after the deceased. Particular attention should be paid to the clothes that the deceased wore most often lately. Such a ritual is a metaphor for the cleansing of the soul from earthly sins. If the hostess tries, then the person's soul will become easier.
3. On the 40th day after the commemoration, guests gather again for a feast. According to signs, if a person is stingy, then he himself will be old in poverty. It is recommended to remember as much good as possible about the deceased. Particular attention is paid to relatives who have buried a loved one. They should say toasts as often as possible, then all kind words will help the deceased at the Last Judgment. When tidying up after guests, meat is the first thing to be removed from the table. This personifies the abandonment of the main course in favor of the deceased. On the 40th day, you need to go to the grave and put a cross of any material next to it, thereby showing that there is still a spiritual connection with an inanimate person.
4. The daily commemoration of the deceased is also traditional. On the days of burial, they must go to church and light a candle for the repose of the soul of a servant of God. Regular commemorations are associated with rituals that help the deceased. For example, all people gathered on this day should say out loud that they forgive the deceased and renounce the bad thoughts that came into their heads this year.
5. An important date that can change a person's afterlife is the 5th anniversary of death. On this day, you need to start a commemoration only in the circle of relatives, who will then be joined by friends and acquaintances of the deceased. In the first part, you need to remember as many moments with the deceased as possible and share them with each other. According to signs, when new guests come to the table, it is they who will have to say toasts. Such traditions are due to the fact that this day is difficult for the person whose soul has fallen into the underworld. By observing these requirements, loved ones will be able to alleviate the fate of the deceased.
