Burial practices involve a special undertaker, who cleans the bones of deceased family members who have been buried in shallow family graves in relatively open caskets to speed up the decaying process.
Families leave special sweets on their table or a certain kind of Torrone, for the loved dead who are believed to travel home to their families on this day.
