Is it customary in Lankao to give gifts when the uncle dies?

It is customary in Lankao that if your uncle passes away, if you have a family, you need to give him a gift. First of all, the salute is divided into two major parts. There are filial sons and grandsons in the family as well as ordinary guests. The descendants of the deceased must first go to the memorial shed and sit on their knees, usually men on one side and women on the other. Each person who comes to salute must kowtow. Before the guest kowtows, he should go to the bookkeeping office and record the names of the sacrifices on his name. The steward will loudly call out the guest's name and the sacrifices he brought, and place the sacrifices on the table in front of the mourning platform. Then the guests walked to the mat in front of the mourning platform and stood there: it may be one person or several people. If it is several people, just follow them. Just do whatever they do and it will usually not go wrong.
