I was not given any reasonable explanation except for the pain of the deceased and its fear of the Day of Judgment as Shmuel HaNavi experienced with Ba'alat Ov; these matters pertain to the Chevra Kadisha members¦ because they are not written in the Shulchan Aruch". He continues:"I Have witnessed that nothing was written on the tombstone of Rabbi Moharitz Ben Valid after 12 months¦".
