Member Since: April 2007 Posts: 10 Send Message	At one of my distant relations funeral somebody broke a wishbone over the coffin,the family were originally from Ireland RC.I know the breaking of a wishbone traditionally means to make a wish,but have never heard of this happening at a funeral. Could this be a gypsy tradition? Has anyone got any ideas
