The burial sequence is placing the nails, cutting the coffin, rotating the coffin, opening the spirit chamber, and bidding farewell to the guests.

At this time, the ritualist or Taoist priest nails the four ends of the coffin while saying auspicious words, which means the birth of a son. This ceremony is sometimes omitted or held in advance.
[2] Cutting the coffin means cutting small pieces of wood from the coffin, nailing them together with the descendants, and placing them in the incense burner. When the mourning period is over, they are burned together in the hope of praying for the descendants to prosper.

The family members will say goodbye to the relatives and friends from other families who do not want to attend the funeral, and the funeral cars of the remaining relatives and friends will then send the funeral to the cemetery.
