Cenaze gelenekleri

I have now seriously begun my research on funeral traditions in Turkey (cenaze gelenekleri). There are customs that are religious (dini, İslam, kuran okuma) and customs that are pre-Islamic (İslam öncesi). There is specific food prepared (halva) during the time of mourning (yas ve ağlamak). The burial is very elaborate and made of marble (mermer taş ve mezar). 

I am aiming to deliver my presentation in Turkish and then translate into English.
