Subject: [MON] burial traditions
Date: Wed, 2 May 2007 15:53:26 +0100
When I was in my teens I was told that no women were allowed to attend my father's funeral - and this included my mother. I must admit that I thought that this was a tall story however, on visiting Blaina last week, I was told that this was an old tradition in South Wales.
Can anyone tell my why? Was it a case of what we would call nowadays - men did the important things and the women stayed at home with the children - I don't know how else to express it.
Strange idea
