Funeral for Ivan and Klara's Neighbor

Today (Monday), the funeral was held for the Ivan and Klara's neighbor, who had died suddenly of a heart attack. I couldn't take any photos, because I really didn't know the family, but it was exactly the way funerals were conducted 50 or 100 years ago. The deceased lay in coffin in the home, the doorway was trimmed in black cloth, floral arrangements were hung, there were crosses and religious banners. After a series of hymns and prayers, the coffin and body were taken outside before the procession to the cemetery. These photos from my Grandmother's sister's funeral will give you n idea of what it was like.
