The existence Life- Death

The existence in beyond said, was in agreement with the form of their death, not to the conduct observed in life, therefore it was not afraid to later punishments to the death, it did not exist hell like a torment site or the sin to fear God.After the decease, the old ones generally dressed to the dead in papers amate or maguey. They spilled water to him in the head saying to him, this is what you enjoyed in the life. If its death were related of some form to the water dressed it like Tláloc, God of rain. Jarro with water was placed to them to overcome the obstacles until arriving at its destiny. If they had been important personages they placed in the mouth a green stone to him called Chalchihuitl and if he had been common and current, they placed a stone to him of less value. They incinerated the corpse generally, the fire of the cremation was stoked at the same time that dismal songs were intoned, reduced the body to ashes was deposited in a mud pot and they buried it. Also they burned its properties and instruments of work. The burial became in the house, some temple or mounts. Offerings of food, drinks, and flowers in that place were placed.
