| The funeral of Novak, Hryhorii Pylypovych. The wife laments as the men get ready to pick up the bier, here called mary. The rushnyky tied around the mary will become gifts for the pallbearers. The wife was the best lamenter I have ever seen. She lamented the entire trip to the graveyard, which took at least thirty minutes. The laments were complex with full poetic features.
