Funeral process

Go to the funeral car after the family dies, and buy the shroud before the death. When the undertaker comes, he will help your relatives dress. Before that, you can wipe your family's body. After wearing the shroud, you can carry the entity into the paper coffin and send it to the funeral home for storage. The date of cremation is agreed here, usually 3 days, one day before midnight 12, and then a new day. After arranging the body, the general funeral people will tell you what to prepare, such as cakes, fruits, ever-burning lamps, oil lamps, incense, black pots, Jinshan Yinshan, virgins, boys, girls and cows, all of which need to be covered with the clothes of the deceased. The button collar should be cut off, the funeral box should be covered with ashes and kept as the clothes pocket of the deceased. The clothes of the deceased should be thrown into the rain, and the pillows should be burned by an old man on the day of the funeral. Then, relatives and friends should come to worship less. This is a rule that will not be chosen. Then three days later, the eldest son or daughter will throw a basin in front of the hearse. With the motorcade, the old man will burn pillows and scatter food all over the house. After cremation, he will thank his relatives and friends for going to dinner, then the first seven celebrations, followed by flowers, food and boats. Then it will be a hundred years.

This is the coffin that is often said. If most mothers are pregnant with a female fetus, they will stillbirth.
