In many places, the bones are cleaned a day after death and placed in special sacred places (e.g. in a house of spirits).
Jaws or even whole skulls are worn by widows or
"mourners" on a string around their necks. In general, they pay
special attention to skulls - also because of the belief that the spirit of the
deceased resides in the skull.
