Funeral Customs and Traditions from Co. Wexford Here are a selection of funeral customs and traditions which I recorded last November with Tommy Tutty and brothers and Mick and Jimmy Higgins in Ballyfad, Gorey, Co. Wexord. There are many things mentioned in this 25 minute chat including the tradition of stopping work and ‘downing tools’ once someone would die, wake customs and as well as the tradition found in South and East Wexford where a funeral procession would stop and prayers would be said
