Burial Dole At Welsh Funerals A Long Standing Custom
Attendants at Welsh funerals observe an old custom known as the burial dole. Family and neighbors gather around a large table with a white cloth, each placing a silver coin as a token of sympathy after a signal from the minister. The scene recalls a time when death was viewed as a monster and the dole funded mourning expenses, though today the coin offering is made by the family. In villages the practice persists, while towns and seaside resorts see it fade away.
