The document describes how funerals and burial traditions have changed over time for native islanders. Traditionally, the dead were buried in the backyard of their own home and wore a special suit. A man on horseback would announce the death while drinking alcohol. Friends and family would gather for nine nights of eating, drinking, and mourning. Now, funerals typically occur in cemeteries for both natives and non-natives, and many customs have changed with modern times. However, some traditions like celebrating for nine nights after a death remain.
