The deceased is followed by three: his family, his wealth, and his deeds. His family and wealth return, but his deeds remain. "Family" refers to his relatives and companions, and "wealth" refers to that for which he is honored or his servants who follow him. His deeds remain with him in his grave; his good deeds will materialize for him as a handsome man, and his evil deeds as an ugly man.
