| The graveyard in Ploske. The funeral of Hanna Petrivna Mateiko. The final arrangement of the things that will go into the coffin. Usually the face is covered with the gauze that covers the body up to this point. In this particular funeral, several people questioned whether the legs of the deceased had been untied. The legs and often arms are tied down to prevent the deceased from moving during the various changes after death. The strings (puty) must be removed so that the deceased can move freely in the other world and get to his or her designated place.
