Death messengers, in former times, were those who were dispatched to spread the news that an inhabitant of their city or village had died. They were to wear unadorned black and go door to door with the message, "You are asked to attend the funeral of the departed __________ at (time, date, and place)." This was all they were allowed to say, and were to move on to the next house immediately after uttering the announcement. This tradition persisted in some areas to as late as the mid-19th century.

- 死亡使者是曾经在一些地区传达有人去世消息的人。他们穿着朴素的黑色衣服,挨家挨户地传达着这样的信息:“你被要求在某日某式参加死者的葬礼。” 这是他们所能说的全部,并且在说完这段话后立即前往下一间房子。这种传统在一些地区一直延续到19世纪中叶。 (zh)
