Rain and funerals.

This one may sound kind of strange, but if it rains while having a funeral or tangi, it can be considered a good thing.. The logic behind it is that the rain can wash away any bad or evil things, a kind of fresh clean start for the deceased..

A few think the same about weddings from what I'm told, the rain gives a new and fresh start for the couple..

Not sure if I believe or not, but I have known people that've been together for a good 60 years after a wet wedding, so maybe there's some truth in it...

That is interesting and sounds like there could be something to it. Does make one wonder.

They say the rain cleanses.. It's also a good omen if it rains when the family takes a body home to be buried, it usually meant a safe trip too...
