| Description: | Bosus tells us that the dead used to be burried on the same day, if not within a few hours. This custom has changed not since about eigthy percent of the villagers live abroad and the funeral is thus delayed to allow them to attend the funeral. The corpses are kept in a fridge in Midyat until the day of the funeral. Nowadays, they set up big tents in the village to accomnodate visitor during a seven days period. Food is no longer provided to visitors but only dring and pastry. | |
