Funerals are usually held a few days after death.

Not necessarily. Nowadays people usually ask Mr. Feng Shui to look at the time. The length depends on the wishes of the living. If you want to have a ostentation and extravagance or wait for distant relatives and friends, you can stop for a few more days. If you want to worry, you can spend a day or two, and you seldom go out that day. But there is a folk saying that people will not be buried after seven times (referring to the seventh, eighth, seventeenth, eighteenth, twenty-seventh and twenty-eighth lunar months).

I don't know, generally according to local customs. We don't need the ancient ones now, just use them for a few days when it's convenient.

The average person is dragged from the hospital to the funeral home on the day of death 1. Then we will prepare the funeral and let all our relatives come over. Then the funeral venue will be arranged on the second day, and the funeral will be held and cremated on the third day, and then it will take 1 hour to collect the ashes and put them in the open field. Shot and burned what was before he died. Let these families say goodbye one by one. Find a place to put the urn in the funeral home after burning. The cemetery was chosen later. This is usually the place.

The average person is dragged from the hospital to the funeral home on the day of death 1. Then we will prepare the funeral and let all our relatives come over. After death, the first thing is to issue a death certificate. If he dies at home, the local neighborhood committee or police station will issue a death certificate. If he dies in the hospital, the hospital will issue a death certificate. Of course, if the deceased died accidentally, such as a car accident, suicide, drowning, etc. The police station will issue a death certificate.

Then, the family members took the death certificate to the local police station to cancel the household registration and identity card of the deceased. The next step is to inform the funeral home to transport the body, first temporarily refrigerate, face up, wear a shroud and so on. And the family members and the funeral home will discuss funeral matters, such as when to hold a memorial service, so that the funeral home can make corresponding arrangements. After cremation, the funeral home will issue a cremation certificate, and the family members will receive the ashes of the deceased within 3 to 5 working days with the certificate. Of course, they will also receive it immediately after cremation. The specific situation is not necessarily the same.

China people have always attached importance to life, so most people regard death and life as equally important. In the old society, rich mourners paid great attention to ostentation and extravagance in order to show their "loss of honor". In the eyes of ordinary people, whether a family's funeral is lively or not is the standard of mourning; The longer the funeral procession, the more bands there are, and the sadder it is. Therefore, some mourners hired bands, gongs and cymbals, and even hired people to be "filial sons" and follow floats or hearses ... In fact, this mourning is unreasonable, but the saying of "being born proud and dying sad" is closer to human feelings.

Take Tibet as an example. Funerals can be divided into four types according to their status: water burial of untouchables, earth burial of middle status or celestial burial, and only nobles can be cremated. In terms of burial methods, there are various burial forms in the world, such as earth burial, sea burial, cremation, water burial, thick burial, sky burial, cave burial, tree burial, hanging coffin burial, niche burial, food burial and so on.

Since the Paleolithic Age of primitive society, human beings have produced the concept of soul. Primitive people believe that people can still interfere with the personnel and wealth of the living when they are dead and their souls are immortal. Restricted by this concept of immortality of the soul and the differences in cultural traditions and religious beliefs of various countries and nationalities, various funeral customs have emerged: some funerals are grand and grand; Some are simple and simple; Some are full of religious colors; Some of them are scientific and hygienic. Geography, religion and social structure all affect the form of funeral, and class identity is the decisive factor.
