More people believe that than you may think. Perhaps because of Lazarus and Jesus being in the tomb until the third day, wakes at home were held for three days with a 24/7 candlelight vigil. It was believed that the soul remained, whether to say goodbye, see its past, I don’t know-it stemmed from the old country. Interesting...

Hmm, I was not aware o that- I was just musing aobut what ‘could be possible’ - I guess I can see where they could think that as I’m sure folks have wondered the same thigns for all of time
