At times, how the person looked after they died was taken to be a premonition of future deaths.
The most significant one in this regard is that the corpse had its eyes open. It used to be said that this was a sign that someone else would soon die (Lecároz-N)<ref>Azkue, Resurrección M.ª de AZKUE. ''Euskalerriaren Yakintza, '', I, op. cit.Madrid, 1935, p. 217.</ref>, who could well be a member of the deceased’s family.. This explains the concern about trying to close them as quickly as possible (Bermeo, Kortezubi-B).
