title: [Death and mourning in Romani communities].
abstract: It is customary for Romani people to die surrounded by their family and community watching over them. The whole family gathers around the deceased for a wake which lasts as long as necessary. That is why when one of their community members dies in hospital, it is very difficult for the group to accept.
