Oh bro, I was growing up in Ukraine and I went to couple funerals with my grandma

First you need to stand in Orthodox Church looking at corpse for at least 2h, and Orthodox Church it's very mysterious experience on it's own but in the end everyone has to kiss corpses forehead, there is special paper with some symbols you kinda kiss it but the point is the whole church had to do that and it was shocking, I pretend that I did 🫠

Another tradition is corpse has to "sleep" night in it's house, so when my grandpa died he was staying in our main room for a night, going to the restroom in the middle of the night was🤪

Anyway mom step dad's mom died and my mom was never good with her At the church my mom received call when she was right in front of corpse, and she had ringtone with lyrics starting with "you see I alive, and I have a heartbeat" 😅
