Today I received heartbreaking news: my friend's father-in-law passed away due to a sudden heart attack.

今天我收到一个令人心碎的消息：我朋友的岳父因突发心脏病去世了。

According to Indian custom, a person's body is laid on the floor after death.

根据印度习俗，人死后遗体会被放置在地板上。

Indians will keep the remains of their deceased relatives in their homes.

印度人会把过世亲人的遗体放在自己家里。

In Indian custom, a person is either cremated or buried the day after death.

按照印度习俗，人死后第二天要么火葬，要么土葬。

In Indian custom, funerals are not held on Saturdays.

在印度习俗里，葬礼不在星期六举行。

However, if the next day falls on a Saturday, a chicken must be sacrificed to replace the descendant "eaten" by the ancestors; then the curtain calls in life on Sunday.

但是，如果第二天是星期六，就必须宰杀一只鸡来代替被祖先“吃掉”的后代；然后，生命在星期日落下帷幕。
