MISHNAH: Not only this, but anybody who leaves his dead overnight violates a prohibition. If he left him overnight for his honor, to provide him with a coffin and shrouds, he does not violate a prohibition in his regard. They did not bury them in their family graves, but two graves were prepared, one for those stoned or burned, the other for those beheaded or strangled.

HALAKHAH: “Not only this,” etc. It was stated: If somebody transports a coffin from one place to the other, the rules of collecting bones do not apply. Rebbi Aḥa said, this means in a marble coffin. But in a wooden coffin, the rules of collecting bones do apply. Rebbi Yose said, even for a wooden coffin the rules of collecting bones do not apply. What is “collecting bones”?

Rebbi Ḥaggai said, only if he heard it the next day. But on the same day notice must be taken of collecting bones. Nikomachos stated before Rebbi Zeˋira: Collecting bones has no [minimal] amount. Rebbi Mani instructed Rebbi La from Kufra to tear his garment and mourn following Rebbi Aḥa, not to pollute himself following Rebbi Yose.

It was stated: When collecting bones one does not recite lamentations and wailing, nor the benediction of mourners, nor consolation of mourners. The benediction of mourners, what is said in the synagogue. Consolation of mourners, what is said in the row. It was stated: But one spoke words on the occasion. What are words? The rabbis of Caesarea said, eulogies.
