Are there any strange funeral customs in your local area?

When people in our country die, they always ask Taoist priests to take the road. Near midnight that day, the Taoist priest took the whole family around the mourning hall and crossed the overpass to invite the Lotus Platform. The eldest son followed the Taoist priest with a banner, and the people behind him took out strange incense from the incense burner and followed them in circles. Paper lotus stands are usually given by my late daughter. Please ask the Taoist priest to chant Buddhist scripture in Liantai, and the rhythm of beating gongs and drums is set at 9980, with children and grandchildren next. This process is particularly slow. It was almost dawn when I finished, and I couldn't straighten up when I finished. In fact, some people don't do this now, just do it once when they are tired and in trouble. When my grandmother died, my aunts asked Taoist priests to do it, and our female family members still cried. In previous years, there was a custom of piling up mounds. After their death, they gathered with a big coffin, found a good place on their fields and hills to "build a mound" for three years, and covered the coffin with red cloth. My grandfather's mound has been three years, but it has not all turned into bones. There is hair and beard on his head, nails are still there, and there is skin on the bones. The small coffin he bought was useless and was buried in the original big coffin. In fact, familiar people have nothing to be afraid of. I used to go to primary school in winter, and there was a green phosphorus fire next to the mound of other people's graves in the morning on foggy days, huh?
