What about bowing and crying at the funeral?

When relatives and friends come to mourn the deceased, they usually bow. The family members of the deceased should mourn the body in the room and bow down to thank those who come to mourn, as a gift.

In Zhejiang, undertaker will set up a mourning drum at the gate. Undertaker beat gongs and drums twice as soon as he entered the door, and his relatives wailed when they heard the drums. The mourners bowed to the portrait of the dead and wept bitterly.

In some places, only a bronze chime is placed on the coffin, and someone is responsible for knocking. Every once in a while, it is said that bronze bells ring and the dead ends flash. The soul can move forward by light, but it can't be knocked repeatedly, otherwise the dead will trip in a hurry. In the mourning hall, the widows wept bitterly and filled the whole mourning hall. From beginning to end, the dutiful son and daughter-in-law were dressed in linen, and Dai Xiao knelt beside the coffin to accompany the sacrifice.

Those who come to mourn should bow down to the dead in the sound of mourning. As the saying goes, "Death is the first priority", so besides the elders who don't kneel, even the peers should bow down. In some places, condolences are called "memorial". Generally, relatives and friends send incense sticks, candles, firecrackers, paper money, cloth and other sacrifices. Besides incense and paper, the son-in-law's family and parents' relatives also need to prepare pig heads and geese as sacrifices.

When undertaker arrived, some of them cried and sang about their friendly relations with the deceased, telling the deceased how to bless him and so on. Cooked pig's head and goose are two pictures, and then one of them will be sacrificed to the spirit, and then sacrificed in turn from the previous generation to the next. All the descendants of the deceased knelt before the spirit and bowed and wept bitterly.
