Is it a good idea to hold a funeral on the 15th day of the ninth lunar month in 2018?

2018 Lunar September 15th Calendar

September 15, 2018 (Lunar calendar)
October 23, 2018 Tuesday Scorpio (solar calendar)
【Today’s lunar calendar is suitable】
Marriage, planting, litigation, fasting and offering sacrifices, seeking offspring, relinquishing livestock, raising livestock, and tailoring clothes [Today’s taboos in the almanac]
Returning home, traveling, offering sacrifices, praying for blessings, raising beams and erecting pillars, installing doors, building houses, making stoves, entering houses, building, breaking ground, building embankments, releasing water, accepting marriages, performing funerals, burials, opening markets, seeking wealth, migrating, collecting wealth, and taking up a post
From the above, we can see that today is not an auspicious day and is not suitable for a funeral.

The order of funeral procession is generally as follows:

Straw dragon -- memorial flag -- filial lantern -- auspicious lantern -- cage for releasing animals -- memorial banner -- incense pavilion -- statue pavilion -- soul sedan -- paper bridge -- orchestra -- coffin -- surviving family members -- monks and Taoist priests -- golden boys and jade girls -- relatives and friends attending the funeral.
Of course, customs vary from place to place, and the processions and forms of funerals also vary. The ceremonies of wealthy families are grand and elaborate, with complete funerary objects, while funerals of poor families may be much simpler and less elaborate. There are several etiquettes during the traditional funeral procession. Such as throwing paper money, setting up tea tables and offering sacrifices on the roadside. Throwing paper money refers to scattering paper money made of white paper and shaped like copper coins. It is usually done by a special person in front of the filial son. After the coffin is lifted, paper money is scattered when there are roadside sacrifices, when passing crossroads, riversides, bridges, temples, city gates, and when the body is buried. Tea tables and roadside memorial tents are mostly set up by the bereaved family’s relatives and friends to express their condolences and sympathy to the bereaved family. The tea table is for filial sons and their relatives and friends to drink water, and the filial sons should run down and kowtow to express their gratitude. Roadside sacrifice refers to setting up an offering table or sacrificial shed on the road that the funeral procession passes by to commemorate the deceased. When there is a roadside sacrifice, the funeral procession usually stops the coffin to hold the sacrifice and express gratitude. After the sacrifice, the coffin is lifted and the procession continues on its way.
