ומאי ינכה להן מן הדמים דמי קבר אשתו כדתניא המוכר קברו ודרך קברו מעמדו ומקום הספידו באין בני משפחה וקוברין אותו בעל כרחו משום פגם משפחה

and what does it mean “allow them a reduction in price,” the cost of his wife’s grave; as it was taught: If a person has sold his [family] grave, the path to this grave, his halting place or his place of mourning, the members of his family may come and bury him against the buyer’s will, in order [to avert] a slight upon the family!
