I believe I've heard of people eating a bread baked to symbolize the
sins of the deceased, and the trick is to find an outsider (presumably
one whose immortal soul is less important to you than that of the
deceased) to eat the bread. Never heard of it being eaten off the
remains, though. You might check Frazier's "The Golden Bough", though.
