The dead may return as vampires after they are buried to ward off them rice and other substances are thrown in the coffin. .\n\nTo make sure that the dead will not return as vampires, the burial has to take place in such a manner that it ensures a successful transition of the soul to the place where it is meant to go. Which means that the proper procedures have to be observed before, during and after the funeral. Especially if, according to the local belief, there is a risk that the deceased might become a vampire. Objects or substances such as rice,  are used to ward off vampires may be put into the coffin. Supposing that the vampire has managed to leave its grave, there is still no reason to panic. For there is a large variety of objects and substances (rice etc.)that are thought to ward off vampires-.

It is a sign of returning guests.  If, in Jewish culture, a guest throw his napkin on his plate, he was never coming back.  If he neatly folded his nakin and gently placed it on his plate, he was planing on returning.  It was Christ's way of saying He was going to return.  It also helped prove that no one stole Jesus body.  If some one had stolen Him, they wouldn't have taken time to fold the headpeice.

Iron is the equivalent of the Western 'knocking on wood'. Any Italian who feels that they may have received bad luck from a passing nun will reach to touch a piece of iron. If a cat sneezes, of whatever colour, it brings good luck to all who hear it. To be able to tell if your good luck strategies have worked, hot oil was dropped into a bowl of simple water. Some believe that if the oil stays in one place it is good, but if it spreads out, the bad luck is still with the person. However, others believe that if the oil stays in one blob, this represents the maccio.\n\nWhen a person died, Italians would place salt beneath their head, and their personal artefacts within the coffin next to them. If the items are left out, or one is forgotten, they must be placed in the next coffin of a person the original deceased, and it is assumed that they would meet in the hereafter. In present day, newly wedded couple will smash a plate or a vase into pieces, by dropping it on the floor. The number of pieces it breaks into symbolises the years of happy marriage the couple will have.
