By checking the almanac, we found that the "funeral" item is included in the "what is suitable today", so the funeral can be held on the tenth day of the second lunar month in 2018;
1. Pointing the way - After a person dies, religious ceremonies and pointing the way are held. During this period, a series of activities are held to guide the deceased to a place where people believe there is no dust and is a place of happiness.
2. Mourning clothes: The deceased usually wears blue pants and a white shirt. People regard white as purity and blue as the national color. Use plain weave cloth and don't wear cotton clothes. The children stretched out their hands to dress the deceased. All clothes and daily necessities left behind by the deceased will be burned and not left behind.
3. Stay of the body - In folk customs, the stay of the body usually does not exceed three days. A memorial service is held in the funeral home to bid farewell to the deceased. However, in some areas, the local "Mr." chooses a suitable date for the memorial service based on the deceased's birthday.
4. Funeral - During the funeral, relatives wear hemp and mourning clothes, and the deceased’s feet face forward instead of his head on the hearse. Now with the funeral reform, cremation is the custom. After cremation, the ashes and bone fragments are placed into a cloth bag and then placed into a jar or urn, usually with the front of the urn facing forward.
5. Dead animals - When a person dies, regardless of whether the person is rich or poor, a dead animal must be offered as a sacrifice. Depending on the person's wealth, the sacrifice can be as large as a pig or a cow, or as small as a chicken. To a certain extent, it is a remnant of the ancient custom of killing and blood sacrifice. If the deceased is old, the offerings are regarded as blessings. The offerings should be distributed among relatives. The sacrificial chickens are mostly left for the people who bury the body to eat after they return from the funeral.
6. Joint burial: When a husband and wife are buried together, the man is on the left and the woman is on the right. (It is the opposite for the Mongolians) If the two are buried together, the younger ones will be on the west side and the elder ones will be on the east side. In Western countries, those who died first are buried at the bottom, and those who died later are buried at the top in an overlapping manner. In some parts of our country, when a couple is buried together, if one of them dies first, the one who was buried first needs to be dug out when the other one dies and is buried. After they meet and pay tribute to each other, they are buried together.
7. Direction - The oldest custom is burial, which is in a north-south vertical direction. Nowadays, urns face south and back north. Nowadays, some tombs are buried in a north-south vertical direction according to the oldest custom - quoting "A hundred years of happiness" (in folk culture, a hundred years of happiness is often used to bless the eternal marriage, but for the deceased, it refers to the destination of life - eternal peace)
8. Burning - People traditionally burn tinfoil, yellow paper, and daily necessities (such as cars, houses, televisions, etc.). In the early days, the Mongolians burned the foods that the deceased liked to eat during his lifetime. Burning animal bones after consumption to bless the deceased and burning tinfoil are influenced by the Han people.
9. Mourning - There was a custom of mourning in ancient times. (Book of Northern History, Biography of Shiwei) records: When your father died, men and women gathered together to cry for three years. In modern times, it has changed to a seventh day of mourning (the first seventh to the fifth seventh, or the seventh seventh), with a mourning hall set up at home, and memorial services held on the hundredth day and anniversary. During the mourning period, people wear plain clothes and eat vegetarian food.
