Funeral procedures

1. Prepare the coffin: Coffins are generally made of fir. Ordinary coffins are made of "twelve dou" (made of twelve boards), top-quality coffins are made of "ten dou", and the worst are made of "eighteen dou". The coffin is called "Shou Mu". When the coffin is completed, close relatives and friends will send gifts to celebrate and wish the owner a long life.
2. Site selection: For the burial place, it is usually necessary to ask a Feng Shui master to choose a "feng shui treasure land". The burial place must have a "dragon" and a "starting point". It should be a "Niumian land" with beautiful mountains and water. After the land is selected, a tomb should be built, which is commonly known as "feng shui".
3. Seeing off the old man: When an old man is critically ill, family members stand by the bed, waiting to tell him the last arrangements. If the old man's expression changes and he is about to die, married daughters should stay away. Children and grandchildren stand by the bedside, calling loudly until he dies. The whole family kneels by the bed and cries loudly. This is called "seeing off the old man". Children and grandchildren from afar must rush home before the old man dies, otherwise they will be considered as not being able to see him off, or not being able to fulfill their filial piety, which is a great regret.
4. Announcing the death: After completing various procedures before and after the death, the news of the death is reported to relatives and friends. This is called announcing the death. In Xiuning County, the person who announces the death of a deceased person would enter the door holding an umbrella and place the tip of the umbrella vertically on the inside of the door with the tip pointing downwards, so that relatives and friends would know the news immediately. In Yi County, people hang the umbrella on the back of the chair on the left side of the hall, then sit on the seat opposite and say: "Your family...thank you very much".
5. Coffining: Wrapping the deceased in cotton and dressing him neatly and putting him in the coffin is called "coffining". There are people in every place who specialize in burying the dead and are willing to respond to any request.
6. Inviting the Seventh Day: From the date of death, every 7 days is called a "seventh day", and the total number of "seventh days" is 49. On every seventh day, the children and grandchildren prepare incense, candles and offerings, and hold a ceremony in front of the coffin or on the grave, commonly known as "inviting the seventh day".
7. Funeral: Due to the selection of a cemetery or other reasons, the coffin is kept for mourning, which may last for a minimum of 3 days and a maximum of a year, usually 49 days. Sending the coffin to the cemetery is called "funeral".
8. Burial: Before the funeral, ask a Feng Shui master to select a burial site, dig a hole, and pour lime into the hole. When the coffin arrives, some bean pods and hemp are burned in the pit to keep the fire, and then the coffin can be placed in the right position. They also have to slaughter a rooster and pour its blood on the coffin lid, set off firecrackers, burn paper money, and burn incense and kneel down for the last time.
