How do I enter the cemetery?
It is believed that if you enter the cemetery gate with your hands clenched, you can leave good luck among the graves. Do not clench your hands into fists, open palms show your intentions. If you have a bag or bag in your hand, throw it over your wrist or shoulder, freeing your hand.
Visit the churchyard in the morning, in the evening the visitor disturbs the souls of dead people with his presence. Remember, visit with funeral procession – Central gate, side gate – for other purposes. You need to leave the cemetery the same way that you entered.
Funeral signs

A narrow grave that does not fit coffin means that the earth refuses to accept the deceased – there are too many sins or unfinished business. It is likely that the deceased will pull someone from the family.
The crumbling earth around the edges of the grave indicates the next death from the deceased person’s family. If the ground falls from the southern edge, expect a male relative to die, and a female relative to die from the Northern side.
To prevent the soul of the deceased from returning, all members of his family should throw a handful of earth into the grave. The same ritual relieves fears of the dead.
