What should we pay attention to in funeral etiquette 1 First, hold a family meeting.

Second, organize the remains.

After the death of a person, the cleaning of his remains is generally carried out by the makeup staff of the funeral home, but some relatives want to personally clean up their loved ones for the last time after their death, so they can do it in the following ways:

If he dies in a hospital ward, his relatives can take off his clothes and wipe his body with a warm towel. If the deceased's mouth and eyes are not closed, he can gently massage them to close them and put on new clothes and pants. Then accompany him to the hospital morgue to rest in peace.

In case someone in the family dies, children or relatives will move the body to the hard bed, put on dirty clothes and wipe it with warm water towels. After putting on new clothes, New Pants closed his mouth and eyes, and then straightened his hands and feet to prevent the body from deforming. According to some customs, immediate family members should clean their nails and comb their hair. These things can be handled as appropriate.

Third, the choice of shroud.

1, shroud knowledge shroud is clothes for the dead.

After mankind entered the feudal society, with the development of productive forces and the improvement of living standards, funerals began to become increasingly luxurious and complicated. Because the clothes of the deceased represented the status, wealth and rank before his death, what clothes the deceased wore, how many clothes he wore, and even the names of clothes were very particular at that time. As the name implies, those who live long live forever. After the death of their ancestors, the dutiful son is forbidden to say death, and the clothes worn by the deceased are called "shroud". Generally speaking, the shroud is singular, which means good luck.

The varieties and colors of shroud have been diversified, and people have studied and improved folk customs while eliminating feudal dross to meet the needs of different consumption levels of bereavement.

There are also gender and age differences in the style of shroud, among which the gender difference is obvious and the age difference is slight. According to folklore, China has always regarded the funeral of the elderly as a happy event, so there is a saying of "weddings and funerals", so the shroud of the elderly often adopts bright and fancy colors. The shroud is made of cotton, hemp, silk, satin and wool. Chemical fiber fabrics will burn into liquid during incineration, which not only affects the quality of ashes, but also causes environmental pollution. Therefore, chemical fiber fabrics are generally not used to make shroud.

2. Types of shroud It should be said that shroud is understood in a broad sense, and there are countless varieties. The family members of the deceased can choose various styles and fabrics according to their needs (except fabrics that are easy to cause pollution).

Shield type:

quilt

The' bag' of the corpse is shaped like a cloak, woven with silk and satin fabrics, embroidered with auspicious patterns such as flowers, insects, fish and longevity, and worn on the outermost layer of the deceased.

mantle

Shrouds include clothes, trousers and skirts. There are robes, jackets, mandarin jackets, cheongsam and so on. And there are underwear, clothes and coats. Pants and skirts are long and short, and there are various Chinese and western styles.

Shoumao

Shoumao is also called Shouguan. Men generally use hats and caps, and some also wear traditional Qing melon seeds hats. Women, especially the elderly women in southern China, often wear mussel-shell velvet hats, which look like "old ladies", but they are not suitable for young and middle-aged women.

Hand shoes, hand socks

Life shoes are generally Chinese cloth shoes or western leather shoes. Living socks are generally cotton socks. Pillows are made of paper and cloth. According to the traditional custom, the headrest is decorated with clouds and the foot pillow is two lotus flowers. As the saying goes, "step on the lotus and go to heaven."

Shoubei

Shoubei is a long and narrow quilt covering the dead, on the outermost layer. It is made of cloth and satin, and embroidered with stars, moons, dragons and phoenixes. In the past, two quilts were used for funerals, one under the body and the other over the body, isolated from the coffin. Now all the remains are cremated, so when a memorial service is held, only one birthday is needed to cover the deceased.

The key to choosing a shroud is to pay attention to matching, that is to say, the styles, colors and patterns of clothes, trousers, shoes, hats and quilts should be coordinated and echoed. In particular, it is necessary to distinguish between Chinese and western styles, and never wear suits and cloth shoes, which are neither Chinese nor western, and appear neither fish nor fowl; Pay more attention to the overall tone in color selection, unify the fragmentary colors in the big tone, and don't use large-area contrast colors, otherwise it will appear messy and dazzling; Patterns are also divided into classical, modern, Chinese and western styles, and the styles should be coordinated and unified. In addition, the choice of fabric also involves the grade of "funeral" ceremony. Generally, the shroud made of silk and satin is more expensive, so the family should choose the appropriate shroud according to the specific situation.

Fourth, choose a funeral home.

Funeral home is a place to handle the affairs of the deceased and provide funeral services for relatives. Funeral parlors in China began in the 1920s of 19, which was the product of modern China influenced by western culture. After the founding of New China, the people's government vigorously promoted cremation, and a number of crematoriums were built in various places. These crematoriums, which were set up for the implementation of cremation services, gradually transitioned to funeral homes with functions such as receiving corpses, treating funerals, cremation and storing ashes.

The funeral parlour in the modern sense has become an indispensable part of today's social life because of its all-round service for funeral activities.

Register the body by phone.

After receiving the "Resident Death Funeral Certificate", the family members shall notify the funeral home as soon as possible to collect the remains. After the body is transported to the funeral home, it should be cremated within fifteen days according to the relevant regulations. The registration of the remains can be handled at the business counter of the funeral home or by telephone.

When relatives pick up the corpse by telephone, they should explain the details of the deceased's name, age, cause of death, place of death, name, relationship, address and telephone number to the funeral home business personnel. After checking the above situation with the funeral death certificate issued by the police station, the business personnel of the funeral home will pick up the body as soon as possible.

When picking up the corpse at the funeral home for registration, the resident's death and funeral certificate shall be presented, and the location, name, telephone number and contact person of the deceased shall be accurately informed to the funeral home or agency.
