As for customs, they vary from the Ashkenazim. One important and ancient custom has been to name children after living grandparents or relatives, to the dismay of other Jews. Of course, they name children after the deceased also, but to a Sephardi who is still living, it is considered an honor and assurance that the name is carried on. While attending religious services, when the husband is called up to the Bima (altar) to read, his wife and children will stand up as a sign of respect. Another custom used by the Rochessim (Burial Society) is the Sedaka (charity) Blanket. This blanket is placed on the ground near the exit of the cemetery. When leaving the cemetery after a funeral service, money is voluntarily tossed upon the blanket. This money goes to the Burial Society and is put into a special fund to be used for needy members at burial time. The Rochessim and Rochesses also provide hard-boiled eggs, bread, and raisins for the family in mourning, which is a very significant part of our mourning ritual. The cuisine is also quite different.
