1,274. After the Taharah

197:6 After the deceased has been purified, he should not be left in the place where the purification was performed. Rather, he should be laid opposite the door inside the room. The board on which the deceased was purified should not be turned over, as this is considered a source of danger.

197:7 A person should not kiss his children who passed away; this is considered very dangerous. Even more so, one should not hold the hand of the corpse and say, "Take me with you!"
