The word was born when a candle lamp was placed at the foot of the deceased, called "ever-burning lamp", a cooked duck egg was placed on a bowl of rice, and a pair of bamboo chopsticks were inserted directly. In addition, use a big bowl of sand as a censer and put it in front of the spirit.

The coffin (board) is transported to the funeral home by the service personnel of the funeral home in a van, commonly known as "board". Outside the funeral home, the orphan (daughter-in-law) kneels and prepares to burn silver when collecting the coffin outside.

Items to be prepared when collecting coffins: barrel ring, broom, a bag of rice, gold paper (buy water for the dead to clean themselves). Most of these items are now prepared by the service personnel of funeral services. In the traditional way of sealing the remains in barrels, after the funeral, the service personnel of funeral service use professional resin to seal the coffin seam to make it airtight and stop in the house.

Now that the remains are frozen, burial and coffin sealing ceremonies will be held on the eve of the funeral. Seven traditional rituals for the dead to go to bliss are usually performed from 1 1 o'clock the night before to 1 o'clock in the morning (midnight). For the sacrifices made in preparation for the seventh ceremony, please refer to the example of "getting the job done". After the funeral ceremony, the souls set out for the crematorium (cemetery). After the coffin is buried or cremated, the family members return home to pay homage to the main memorial tablet (Soul Silk), which is called "returning to the Lord", commonly known as "Huilong". First, the near-death treatment shows mourning =1. The concept of dying: Before a patient dies, there is usually a phenomenon of dying, commonly known as "anti-youth", and there will be acts of entrusting orphans, making wills, or breaking up and giving money to future generations. If you are dying and become sweaty, this is commonly known as "mountain climbing". In fact, sweat glands and urinary system have no tightening force. Before his death, his family should carry out such acts as "purification", "changing clothes", "moving water to spread", "mourning" and "covering the gods" for him. 2. Water paving: Use a wooden board (six feet long and three feet wide) and put it on the side of the hall with chairs, not close to the wall. In ancient times, the main hall of male disciples and the inner room of female disciples are now in the main hall: men move dragons (on the right side of the door), women move tigers (on the left side of the door), or in the direction of the monument, men are left and women are right, and their heads are outside. 3. cleanliness: before he died, his family wiped his body, which is called "cleanliness". It is usually washed with warm water from jasmine grass. Put on clothes as soon as possible after cleaning, usually six seven-layer jackets, two or three pairs of trousers, white socks and black shoes, combs, makeup, bracelets, ring earrings, longevity needles (female), pancakes (female) and hats (male). 4. Mourning: Usually at the time of dying, family members will be anxious to call and send telegrams to urge the scattered descendants and their close relatives to rush back to death. Before dying, the family tried not to cry to increase the pain. Children who go home after death must crawl into the hall door crying. 5. Cover the gods: In order to be afraid of "seeing thorns", cover the memorial tablets of the gods and ancestors in the temple with red paper or sieve before dying, commonly known as "covering the gods", and cover them with white cloth or straw mats immediately after accidental death. 6. Death: Put an oil lamp, a "ever-burning lamp", a bowl of rice, a boiled duck egg and a pair of bamboo chopsticks at the feet of the deceased, indicating that the deceased does not have to starve and has the strength to go to the underworld. Use a big bowl full of sand as a censer, burn "foot money" along the way to buy road money and cow's head and horse's face), and burn "foot sedan chair" (instead of walking) in the past. Please also ask me to "enlighten the spiritual path" or chant: Foot Sutra, Diamond Sutra and Tommy Sutra, so that my son and daughter-in-law can be guarded by the spirit to prevent cats from coming near. Display mourning ornaments ↑7. Mourning: When a funeral is held at home, white paper or white cloth is usually posted in an obvious place at the entrance of the funeral parlour to show condolences. 8. Death registration: Family members who died of illness can directly go to public and private hospitals or clinics to issue death certificates. If the doctor is unwilling to issue a certificate, and died unexpectedly, such as car accident, drowning, disaster, murder, etc. They need to report to the prosecutor and the forensic doctor in order to open them after the autopsy. Family members can only be buried after registering with the township office and household registration office with the death certificate. Second, the funeral steps set up a mourning hall at home and cover the coffin with a yellow scarf. First, funeral care: the married daughter or granddaughter of the deceased immediately rushed back to her family instead of plain clothes. In the countryside, the town is very close to the funeral home, and all the way there is mourning until every family kneels. This is called "crying on the road". In case of bereavement at home, except for children and grandchildren, relatives should be informed immediately, and the mother's bereavement should be reported to her family. In the past, it was appropriate to report the funeral in person to the government. Now, there is a telephone method. When the mother loses her relatives, her family will go to the bereaved family to express their condolences and learn about her death, so the children must kneel outside the door to meet her. Sticking red paper to neighbors is equivalent to sending a funeral report to neighbors. Second, the coffin: it is still composed of six boards. The main board of the cover is called "Tian", the bottom is called "ground", the left and right are called "Sun, Moon and Right", the head is called "glans" and the tail is called "tortoise tail". It used to be called "coffin" and "coffin". At present, the popular styles in Taiwan Province Province are generally local and western. Third, connect the board: don't be extravagant and complicated, choose simple "horn, blow, music and sound" guidance, and more than four coffin bearers [Tugong] will transport them to the bereaved home in a small truck, which is called "vertical board". When you go to the funeral home, the lonely "mourning" and "daughter-in-law, daughter" kneel outside the door. This is called "lianban". When the coffin is buried, the head should move forward so that it can be buried inside the head and outside the feet. Before putting the board, it is advisable to stick red paper on the threshold of the neighbor's house, hang red paper to make money, and tear it off one by one after drinking. 4. Preparation items for joining the board: a thin bamboo ring symbolizing unity, a broom to exorcise evil spirits, a golden urn burning gold, a bag of rice, and gold paper: Shoujin worships the earth god and Xiaoyin worshipers, all of which were burned by the daughter-in-law outside the door when joining the board. Five, the body: that is, put the body in the coffin. Usually, people will choose the appropriate time of death within 24 hours after death. When buried, the descendants looked around and some of them did it themselves. You should put bedding, pillows (water chestnut pillows are made of silver paper or dog hair and chicken feathers on the middle and white sides), treasury money and daily necessities (glasses, books, wine, jade articles, etc.). ). It is best to spread grass and tea on the bottom of the coffin, and also set a seven-star board, with silver paper on the left and gold paper on the right. 6. Sealing: Cover the coffin and seal it. In the past, workers in coffin shops were nailed with long nails, but now they are glued with super glue. Western-style coffins are only bonded with transparent acrylic covers, and the coffins are fastened with buckles. 7. Religious ceremonies: During burial, there are usually simple religious ceremonies, such as chanting Amitabha Sutra and Duren Sutra, and the rest are "knocked" by means of gongs, drums and blowing, and the coffin is covered, so that family members and relatives can look after the remains. Soul silk: It used to be made of silk, but today it is mostly made of paper. Generally commissioned Taoist production. Soul silk represents the spiritual position and should not be hasty. Be sure to fill in the date of birth and death of the lunar calendar in detail. Writing the name of the deceased in Chinese paragraphs: generally, the word "seven" or "twelve" is used, based on "birth and death", and both words are "old". At the funeral, the soul silks should go up the mountain with the team, and when they return to the Lord, they should prepare a soul sedan chair to take it back and set a table for them. 9. Filial piety hall: cover the coffin with white cloth, erect a curtain of mourning, erect a portrait, put the clothes, shoes and socks of the deceased on the chair, and set up a mourning table: set up a pair of candles, flowers, incense tables, fruits and lights day and night to prepare relatives and friends for condolences. Third, the mourning period 1 filial piety: also known as rice. Starting in the morning after the big funeral, we will provide toiletries, breakfast (rice, chicken, rice noodles and the like) and fragrant paper after dawn. , and burning silver paper needs about one column of incense; Dinner is served a few minutes before dusk, ie the ceremony is as before. This situation didn't end until the seventh day or the hundredth day. Instead, they had to worship once at dawn and dusk on the first day and the fifteenth day of the first year, and no meals were provided at the beginning of the second year. After the "furnace", they had to offer sacrifices every year. Sacrifice on the table is filial piety. Beating barrels: After the funeral, please ask the coffin shop workers to seal the joints with cloth strips and tung oil so that they will not stop in the house, which is called "beating barrels" and cover the mourning hall with white cloth. The time for barrel beating varies from three to five days to several months. 3. Wake: Before the funeral, children and grandchildren must wake in front of the coffin and sleep next to the coffin at night, commonly known as "trapped coffin feet". It was because he was in a coma the morning before he died that he couldn't bear to let the deceased stand alone. It is also said that the deceased will go home on the seventh day to see if his child can survive. The children and grandchildren are thinking about the past "bearing" and are accompanied by clothes. 4. Zuo Qi: The first seven are managed by orphans, the second by wives, the third by married daughters, the fourth by nieces, the fifth by married granddaughters, the sixth by married granddaughters or great-granddaughters, and the seventh by orphans, also known as the seventh seven. 5. Make it for ten days: ten days is ten days. In some areas, after seven (forty-nine) days, it is read as ten days to worship four judges. Don't ask five questions on the ninety-ninth day, and do it for one hundred days the next day. Generally speaking, "Zuo Qi" and "Zuo Xun" are often confused everywhere. All localities usually only "do seven" and not "do ten". 6. Hanging and Ways of Funeral Lights (1) Ordinary families often hang two wedding lights in the hall. Add two funeral lights to prevent funeral. (2) Hanging mode and significance: mourning lamps (commonly known as headlights) are still hung outside the mourning hall to show farewell, and the hanging purpose of mourning lamps is still 1. Stop in Hall 2. After the funeral. 7. The preparation of filial piety staff is also called mourning staff. It is still an ancient loneliness, because of the pain of bereavement, it stands on its knees with something that helps the body, that is, a stick. Father's funeral is different from mother's funeral. Father's bereavement: Holding bamboo means that the festival will remain unchanged all the year round. Mother's funeral: holding the ling or stabbing the Chang or, which means that the mother's kindness is heavy, that is, the mother is pregnant in October and the kindness of breastfeeding for three years is more important than the mountain. 8.
