A funeral toll is also called a knell. A funeral toll is the slow ringing of the church bell using the hammer rope (as opposed to the pealing rope that actually swings the bell) as the deceased is carried out of the church. In many places, there is usually a series of quick rings to indicate the gender of the decedent (for example, three for a man, two for a woman), followed by a pause, then one ring for each year of the decedent's life, spaced approximately 10 seconds apart. Listening, one can tell a funeral toll by its slow "bong . . . bong," as opposed to the faster, more joyous "ding-dong" when the bell is pealed.
