Jan 28, 2019 at 21:23 comment added Gary I never heard of such a thing, either. I've heard of various non-Jewish customs, like including a couple of coins to pay to ferry the dead person across the Styx(?). Also, on the more modern side, there seems to be "standard" body mutilations that organized crime victims receive, depending on why they were executed. Those might be partially legendary, but one of the guys who welcomed Donnie Brasco/Joe Pistone into the alleged organized crime group was found with his hands cut off, the same hands that welcomed the FBI Agent into the group.
