There are many details of the funeral, but the main ones are outlined above.


Let's talk about what happened a long time ago. It was still buried.

One or three days, as a relative, sleep about five hours a day. I don't need to say that.

2. Day 1: Memorial service; Guests take turns serving incense and burning paper.

Third, the second day: continue to receive guests during the day.

In the evening, please ask the local onmyoji to give a sermon on the scene:

One prayer is 40 minutes, and the children of the deceased have been kneeling and burning paper for 40 minutes. After 40 minutes, 10 minutes of rest, followed by the second round, the grandchildren of the deceased kneel and burn for 40 minutes.

And then in the third round, the next of kin burns on their knees for 40 minutes.

Then came the body's farewell:

Please drum and bugle band play, divided into 7 rounds, regardless of relatives and guests each round of 20 people, holding the money paper, around the coffin of the body, turn to the door to throw three pieces into the brazier to burn. One hour per round. It basically lasts from night to dawn.

Day four and Day three: Burial.

After eating early in the morning, the whole team has to go through a 5km walk up the mountain, divided into:

1, firing team: small trucks carrying firecrackers and shooting personnel set off all the way.

2. Wreath team: Each relative carries a wreath and walks 5 kilometers to the burial site.

3. Coffin carrying team: the eldest son of the deceased walks in front to hold the portrait. The urn that the victim's second son then emptied. The third son of the deceased then held the incense burner and incense ash left after burning incense a few days ago. Behind them were 12 men carrying a coffin with a live rooster tied to it. Another 24 were on hand for the shift change. Because the coffin is still very heavy, every 5 minutes after walking, 12 people will continue to take over, the coffin can not land when the replacement, and the three sons in front of the replacement have to kneel back and look at the coffin, and wait for 12 people to take over, and then get up and turn forward.

4, truck team: The truck carrying a pile of sacrificial supplies followed.

5. Guest team: Guests follow on foot.

When you get to the burial place, dig up the burial ground you built earlier.

Then the Onmyogenetic master will perform various chanting and cross over kneeling, and kill the chicken to burn incense, glue the chicken feathers and sprinkle chicken blood.

After a lot of steps, it's done.


Each place has different customs, funeral customs are different, and some places are still buried


Every place is different


It depends on the geographical situation. The good thing about us is that some people will bury it and then serve it


Each province has its own funeral rites. The old man who dies well depends on the family economy of his children and grandchildren. For example, the economic conditions of children and grandchildren are not ideal, to simplify a bit. In addition to the solemn funeral rites I have seen is Quanzhou, Fujian Province.


I am from the north, where we first look at the date, set the date and then go to the village to ask people to help, please help people to kowtow to others, after please, and then look for the chanting, when the scheduled burial, chanting until that day!

The next generation of the deceased will wake for a few days ~ those days there will be relatives and friends to come and cry to them {most are like this} Wait until the day of the burial to go outside to invite a mourning band {not very expensive} and then all the relatives and friends of the day to come and then the gift money most of them are less than 100 yuan at noon when the tractor pulls the coffin to the cemetery that relatives and family members to follow and throw the pot what Such as the soil and then cry together into the soil and then go back to eat after the break up................... I still don't like funerals like this... Are those who love to make a noise to stay behind the dead person still make so much noise the dead generation of the day also cry [in fact, wake that few days are crying enough] that day do not cry, others say you are not filial piety - - day or foreigners that good dead person do not make any noise to show people


Rural funeral now pay attention to a lot of different places from one place, this has no certain rules


Different regions, this is the custom, each has its own funeral culture.


To three kneels and nine knocks, can't laugh, remember to pay the gift, see what relationship with the dead with or without wearing filial piety, the most important point if you don't understand where there is a charge to ask more.


Now the government has issued a mandate that every village must be cremated. Our village began to implement a plan last year to eliminate earth burials and further optimize rural customs. At first, many farmers were reluctant to give government subsidies. Now the government keeps the family alive whenever someone dies and takes them away after the funeral



What are the rules for rural funerals? Let me tell you about my experience. There are a lot of rules in our countryside. When my father-in-law died, there were three children, two sons and a daughter, and we were the eldest. In the countryside, if a family wants to do something, it has to go to a person inside the door for help, and the next door is a family member, and then the elder son has to take the person in charge to find the person to help, and then he has to kneel down and kowtow to the person he sees. When you kowtow, people know that an old man has died in your family and then they will go, and this kind of thing is no matter how busy you are, you can't get rid of it, because people give you too much. The woman is the big daughter-in-law, is in the home side and then is divided xiao cloth is white cloth, when the guests, you will give people a small cloth, and then also knock a head. Then the rest of the women in their own family will be mourning beside the deceased, and if someone comes and it is a female guest, the woman will cry on the side of the house. If a male guest came, the man would kneel outside the door and cry. I remember when my father-in-law died, and I was pregnant with my daughter. She was, like, seven months pregnant. Because our family is the eldest, when the guest is to knock a head to give people xiao cloth, it is really called a tired ah, there is the morning of the funeral is to stand next to the coffin and then with a broom and dustpan on the coffin, while sweeping, while saying lose money, meaning that the old man died, to throw money into the home inside. That is, before the funeral, if there is a daughter, she will go to the cemetery with pancake things and batter to bake a few cakes at the edge of the pit, the four corners of the four middle one means the warm house, and during the funeral, the daughter-in-law will go to the grave pit before the funeral procession to catch the soil four times, and then wrap it in the clothes, and throw it back into the grain pile. In our town, it's called catching the rich earth. It means that if you catch that son of a bitch, you're gonna be rich. I don't know when the rules are in place and we just do it. We are younger, we don't know anything, we are in charge, we do what we say. There are so many rules.
