1,251. Moving the Deceased

194:8 When the deceased is moved from his bed to the ground, they should make sure that he is covered. This is because whatever we would do for the living because of modesty we also do for the deceased.

194:9 There is a custom is to pour out any drawn water that was in the immediate neighborhood of where the patient died. This is a perimeter of three houses, including the one where the person died. Water was poured out even for a child who died within three months of birth. We don't need to do this on Shabbos, though the Birkei Yoseif says that we should act stringently then as well.
