casket. with high silver candlesticks, hold

the bier. and also at the foot silver
urn. filed with holy water IS placed at
the foot of the coffin and each passer by
enters this hastily built mortuary chapel
to repeat short prayer for the soul OF the
departed one. to sprinkle few drops Of
blessed water over the coffin In the
sign of the cross. and to speak few
words TO the good Sister OF Mercy who
