Heres some interesting (for those who aren't superstitious, ok, crazy!) superstitions about Death and Corpses.
I find shit like this amusing and interesting, can anyone relate to any of these or others I haven't listed?  
Buried in Black
If a woman is buried in Black, she will return to haunt the family.
Open Eyes
If the eys of the deceased are left open, they will find someone to take with them
Mirrors
Mirrors in the house of the recently deceased should be covered, or the person who sees themselves in the mirror next will die.
If a mirror in a house falls and breaks by itself, someone in the house will die soon
The Number 13
If 13 people sit down at a table to eat, one of them will die before the year is out
The Number 3
If 3 people are phototgraphed together, the one in the middle will die first
If you hear 3 knocks and no one is thre, it usually means someone close to you has died. The Superstitious call this the Three Knocks of Death
The Cemetery
You must hold your breath while going past a cemetery or you will breathe in the spirit of someone who has recently died
When driving past a cemetery, you should lift your feet in respect for the dead
Once you have left a cemetery, if you remember something you have left behind (a scissors for cutting flowers, a trowel for planting blooms) you cannot go back for it and must leave it there because you risk bringing death away with you if you do.
