Before the funeral

Putting the portrait in front of the car, the eldest son led the younger generation to kneel in front of the car, raised the earthen bowl above his head and said, "Dad, have a good trip", so he broke the earthen bowl as hard as possible, but not twice. Putting the paper cock in front of the car means that the eldest son (or grandson) gets on the bus and raises the flag.

Every car in the convoy has a sign. For the age of the deceased. The deceased was 8 1 year old, plus one year old. Then the car number is 83. If the deceased is a male, stick it on the left rear side of the car, and if it is a female, stick it on the right rear side of the car.

There is also the custom of throwing paper money in some places. Scattered all the way, meaning "buying money for the road", some places put paper money on the bridge and hold it down with stones when crossing the bridge. After the hearse starts, it usually doesn't stop. Before the red light, the driver counts the time, moves slowly, waits in the distance, and accelerates when the green light is green.

Throw the paper cock out of the car before it reaches the funeral home. (Some places use live cocks)
