About the burial, you are right stones come first on top. But the
head of the body is put on a stone, don't ask me why. Also
during ancient times (Pharaos or Etrucian civ.?) dead bodies
were lain on sarcophags made of stones with a stone "pillow" inside.
I don't remember the expression: "brkutay berKWite, emney teter'ise"?
but I have heard elders usually say: "me'as emni teter'ise" meaning
I am not dead.
