Any of y'all ever
set up with the dead or attend a saucer burying ? A saucer burying is where everyone attending a wake in a poor person's home put the pennies , nickles , and dimes they could spare into a saucer in hopes of gathering enough to pay the undertaker for burying the deceased .
Settin up with the dead was a job left to family members for the night following the end of the wake and the burial the next day .
