== The funeral cortege ==
The carpenter would organise the cortege as it left the house and handed out candles and flowers. The male first neighbour would usually lead the cortege, carrying the funeral cross from the church. He was followed by the priest and then the corpse, carried by its four “first neighbours”. The women were behind the female first neighbour who carried the light, ''argizaina'', in Baja NavarraLower Navarre, with the candles of the first neighbours in a large round basked.
The funeral cortege was usually in a single file, with the family following the deceased, with the men separate from the women. During the journey to the church, other mourners would join the cortege at the end in no special order.
