Matthew 8:22
But Jesus told him, "Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead."
John W. from Kingston, NY said:
The traditions for forgiveness of sin relied on placing the dead body in a stone box and when all that was left were bones, it was then reburied with the rest of the deceased family members.
