What should I say before I invite someone to dinner after the funeral? Urgent! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! 11

Before eating, I would like to say: Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend XXXX's memorial service.

There are two reasons to invite you to dinner after the funeral:

First, to thank your relatives and thank you for coming before the funeral. After all, everyone was hungry after the funeral in the morning, and eating afterwards also meant to replenish their physical strength.

the second is to eat bad luck. There are many bad things in the crematorium and funeral parlour. When you come back for dinner, you can use the fireworks to drive away those unclean things.

funeral of the Han nationality

Before the founding of New China, the funeral of the Han nationality was complicated (taking Tianjin as an example), and feudal etiquette was emphasized. The main process was as follows:

When the elder died, the younger generation stayed with him until he died, which was called "death".

Change clothes: On his deathbed, the deceased took off his old clothes, changed his shroud, and tied his legs with white threads, the number of which was equal to the age of the deceased.

funeral service: people send letters to relatives and friends' homes immediately after death, which is called "funeral service".

After death, the whole family cried bitterly, and parked the body on the coffin bed. In front of the coffin bed, there were incense tables and offerings, and the filial daughter burned paper for seven and a half knives (1 pieces of paper for one knife), and the paper car and paper horse were burned outside the door, which was called "burning the coffin car".

Paper feeding: The dutiful son goes to Wudao Temple with a small dustpan with incense, wine and paper money to offer sacrifices to ghosts and gods, and other relatives cry after the dutiful son, which is called "paper feeding" or "reporting to the temple".
