About two weeks ago I posted that my mum passed away in mid December. My daughter Liane came down the day before the funeral and went and saw my mum at the funeral parlour along with my niece Joanne.
Whilst there Liane put some money under my Mum's hand and said there's some money for the boatman.
Apparently it's to pay for my mum's journey wherever she goes.
None of us had ever heard of this and according to Liane it's a northern custom.
Anyone shed any more light on it please?
