In Baja Navarra, as the cortege returned to the house, the people would pause by a fire lit in front of the door, where the people would stand in a circle and say a prayer. The funeral repast was held in the ''eskaratze'' set up by the carpenter, who was in charge with handing out bread, wine and sometimes coffee. In fact, that meal could be simple, but could also be similar to a real feast.
Generalmente la comida se termina con la oraciónGenerally, iniciada por el maestro the meal ended with a prayer, said by the master cantor o el primer vecinoor the first neighbour, incluso el sacerdote si está invitadoor even the priest if invited. Puede dedicarse sólo al difunto pero también se le pueden asociar los demás muertos de su casaThe prayer could be only dedicated to the deceased but the other dead of the home were sometimes included, ''etxetik atera diren arimentzat'', así como el primero de la asistencia que va along with the first of the people present who would be going to die. Those last two cases clearly expressed solidarity and a fallecer. En estos dos últimos casos, vemos claramente cómo se expresan tanto una solidaridad como un vínculo entre el aquí y ahora por un lado y este otro lugar que acoge nuestras almaslink between the here and now and that other place that welcomes our souls.
Todo ello se producía en la casa, cerrándose así un ciclo.
