We are catholic and we wear black for a while and we have to also be completely covered at a funeral, we are not allowed to wear crosses on show as it’s seen as bad luck 🙏

We do that sit up here in Ireland but we call it a wake. Normally the persons body is laid out at home and everyone with stay up and drink and tell stories. I’ve heard of the meat thing aswel

For the black thing for 12 months is it a full black outfit or just any colour with someone black like a jumper or trousers with different colours tops

I did the sit up for my granfer two years ago. “we simply called it the sitting” I sadly didn’t wear black for the full 12 months, but for the few weeks after he passed.

What if the wife passes and the husband doesnt? Does the trailer get burnt after his passing and he stays living in it? Or does he move out of it and burn it? Xx

My dads family don’t eat meat until after the funeral and he never expected me to join in but I joined in for the first time last year when my aunt died but I adapted it and eat chicken and had meat as a last resort if there’s nothing else I would eat as I’m fussy and my teachers at school love learning about it especially my year 11 history teacher

I find that all gypsy I know do most of these things and I just find it so respectful and think that gypsy families do their families so proud and give them the best send offs, think us non travellers should take note ❤
