The Kosovo Way of Death

This is the way they publish obituaries here, not in the newspaper. You see these notices posted all over the place, tree trunks, light poles, etc. The Serbs do it this way, too, but naturually you don't see those in Prishtina. If you go to any of the Serb enclaves that's where you find them.
The chair is a custom the Albanians observe when they are accepting visitors after a family member has died. I thought at first it just signified that a person in that house had passed away but the chair and flowers is to let people know they can come and pay their respects. From what I gather they don't have funeral homes here and I have never seen one. If they have a viewing at all, it's done in a fairly short period of time because they bury people here within 24 hours of death.
