After death, the funeral process is normal. In rural areas and different regions, farmers pay attention to different funeral customs. After all, "five miles is different, ten miles is different." Let's take a look at the funeral process and related information after death.

The funeral process after death is 1. First of all, the paper is upside down. In rural areas, when an old man dies, he must first move to the mourning hall, with his feet inward and his head outward, and put an "old basin" at the bedside to burn paper! This is the "inverted paper" to be burned after the execution!

Second, the funeral. In rural areas, coffins used to be used for burial, so in our rural areas, we should let the elderly have food or put some ancient coins or jade articles in their mouths when they die.

Third, sue the temple. After the death of the old man in the village, all the busy guests don't have to be invited. When they heard firecrackers, they naturally arrived. If the woman dies, they will turn around and report to the "closest relatives of the family", and the dutiful son will report to the ancestral grave, which is what we call "suing the temple" or "leading the soul" in rural areas!

Fourth, mourning. If the woman dies, the dutiful son will inform the deceased's "family" first, and the family will immediately tie up the "memorial arch" to mourn! But for ordinary relatives, the dutiful son will inform them one by one the next day. Under normal circumstances, the dutiful son can't enter the door, but will pay his respects!

Fifth, break filial piety. In rural areas, the so-called "breaking filial piety" means making "filial hats" and "mourning clothes" according to the distance of blood relationship. In our countryside, shoes should also be wrapped in white cloth! Among them, men are mostly "croissants", and women wrap their heads with white square towels!

Sixth, the establishment of Peng Ling. For the convenience of guests' condolences, a Peng Ling is often erected at the entrance of the mourning hall, with dutiful sons kneeling on both sides. There is a table in the middle of Peng Ling, where sacrifices are placed!

Seven, please cook. It usually takes three days for an old man to die in the countryside. At the time of the funeral, relatives came and the main family had to take care of a meal, which is what I commonly call "tofu soup"! With the change of rural customs, there are few drummers in rural areas now! However, there is still a chef.

Eight, splash soup. The night before the funeral, the eldest son is holding the coffin, and the filial son will carry half a bucket of noodle soup and splash it along the road!

Nine, break ground. In the countryside, on the morning of mourning, all the filial sons go to the selected cemetery together, starting with the eldest son, digging the first three pieces of soil, and then the busy guests will do it for him and dig a pit in the building!

Ten, wake up. That is, at the beginning of the funeral ceremony, relatives and friends send the elderly the last journey, which is generally close. To achieve "nine heads and eighteen feet", the ceremony will not officially begin until all the relatives and friends have completed the ceremony. In my opinion, this is called "funeral"!

Eleven, the old basin. In the funeral ceremony, the dutiful son leaned on the funeral stick and the eldest son fell on the old basin. According to rural customs, "breaking the old basin" should be completed at one time, and the more broken it is, the better!

Twelve, road sacrifices. At the funeral, due to the long distance and many coffins in the past, some close relatives will prepare some melons and fruits on the way and follow the team all the way to the cemetery!

Thirteen, burial. If it rains after the burial, it is a good sign, which means "rain and snow come to the grave".

Fourteen, round the grave, on the third day after the funeral, the dutiful son will go to the cemetery to round the grave. According to the old people in the countryside, the bigger the tomb, the better, but it can't occupy other places!

Fifteen, mourning. In rural areas, after the funeral, there is a saying of filial piety, which will also be "May 7th", "Hundred Days" and "Memorial Day"! And you don't have to post Spring Festival couplets for the New Year. After three years, everything will be as usual!

The funeral process after death is 2 1. Small funeral: wash the body and put on the shroud. This step should be done as soon as possible, even sometimes before the end of life. Because in a few hours, due to the death of muscle cells, there will be a phenomenon of limb stiffness called rigor mortis, which will affect the wearing of the shroud. Shrouds can't be made of leather, because it is traditionally believed that the dead will be reincarnated as animals.

2. Funeral report: formally inform relatives and friends near and far about the time, circumstances and funeral arrangements of death. There are often strict conditions and order regulations.

3. Mourning: Friends and relatives came from other places to attend the funeral with gifts, presents, elegiac couplets and wreaths.

4, stop the spirit: also known as temporary mourning, the body will be parked in the mourning hall for several days, waiting for relatives and friends who come to mourn; At the same time, it helps to determine death instead of coma and suspended animation. The mourning hall can be a room at home, a temporary shed, or a special room for a funeral home. There are mourning banners, portraits of the dead, food (offerings), incense, candles and paper money in the mourning hall. In addition, when the deceased can't be buried formally for the time being, leaving the coffin in temples and other places for future burial can also be called stopping the spirit.

5. Wake: During the wake, relatives and friends present, especially the younger generation of the deceased, take turns to guard the deceased in the mourning hall and accept condolences from mourners. During the whole funeral, the younger generation (called dutiful son/daughter) close to the deceased wore white seamless coarse clothes or jackets, tied with straw ropes or hemp ropes at the waist and sandals at the feet, which was called mourning.

6. In front of his family, the great-coat moved the deceased into a coffin covered with a mattress, covered it with a quilt, and nailed it to seal the coffin. Wealthy families may use an inner coffin and an outer coffin to place funerary objects.

7. Funeral: Send the coffin to the cemetery for burial. The sign of the beginning of the funeral is that the dutiful son will break a clay basin, which is called "throwing the basin". Led by a dutiful son holding a "talisman", a band played and distributed paper money to the cemetery along the way. The burial ceremony was assisted by Feng Shui master.

8. Burning Seven: After burial, relatives and friends go to the cemetery once every seven days to worship and burn paper money for seven times, for a total of 49 days. There are also similar activities such as evoking souls and burning paper money, which are called "doing seven". The ceremony on the 49th day was called "Breaking Seven", which was the end of the official funeral.

9. May 7th: The 35th day in the northern region is traditionally called May 7th. My daughter makes a paper gourd and puts a bowl of noodles, which is commonly known as the five-seven lock. Folk beliefs say that the dead must be locked somewhere before May 7th, and they must be unlocked, and then they can cross the river with gourds and go to the western paradise.

10, Filial Piety: According to the Confucian tradition, a dutiful son should stay in front of his parents' grave for three years (everyone basically never leaves his parents' arms before he is three years old, which is how many village students are born), and during this period, he should avoid socializing, drinking and eating meat, and sharing a room with his husband and wife.

1 1. Family members of the memorial tablet presented incense to the memorial tablet with the name of the deceased written on it.

12. Grave-sweeping: friends and relatives of Tomb-Sweeping Day (Jie Zhitui died on this day) repaired and cleaned the cemetery.

The funeral process after death 3 What happened about two hours after death?

1, clean body

The word "clean body" may be more appropriate here. When you are born, you have to be clean. When you die, you have to be clean and go to another world.

Generally, the cleaning time is about two hours after death. In some cases, it may be longer, because some deaths are special, such as the old man's death at home without warning, and the young man's return home to find that the situation is five or six hours later, or even longer.

Cleansing is not bathing, because the limbs of the dead are getting stiff and inconvenient to operate. Just to clean, prepare warm water, wash your face with a towel, comb your hair, cut your nails, shave, etc. And then wipe the whole body to ensure cleanliness.

Step 2 feed the food

If the eyes of the deceased are still open after death, they will usually be closed by their children.

In the two hours after death, customs and habits are different all over the country. In some places, a bowl of rice and some pieces of meat, usually cooked pork, are prepared within one hour after death. This is easier to find. Operated by a close relative, open the mouth of the deceased and feed the meat without feeding the whole bowl with a mouthful, which means that the deceased should not be hungry on the way to the underworld.

Some customs also put a coin or a smaller silverware into the mouth of the deceased. There are different explanations about this practice, but there are many explanations about exorcism, so I won't repeat them here.

Step 3 wear new clothes

In order to let the deceased leave with dignity, some boxes are special and inconvenient to buy, so they are not completely new. Some older children are reluctant to dress them with many new clothes, but they can also use them. If you are well prepared, everything you wear is ready. Take men for example, underwear, shirts, suits, ties, belts, socks and leather shoes.

The dead body is stiff, and the operation needs the cooperation of many people. Some people hold it and carry it to turn over for it. In addition, there is a shroud and a hat that matches the shroud. After wearing it, the general appearance is similar to the pictures that people often see on TV.

It is necessary to hit the road.

Cremation now, blue body bags appears. Open the body bags, put a piece of white cloth on it, and put some pieces of white cloth on it. There is no standard. Generally, every younger female object, such as the daughter and niece of the deceased, has a white cloth to show filial piety. Sprinkle rice on the white cloth. Sami means to let the dead go to another world, to ensure that the grain is abundant and there is no worry about food and clothing.

Put the dead in new clothes into a body bag, which is usually very loose and has a lot of room to play. I still hope I don't have to worry about food and clothing. When I am ready, I will buy a new suit for the deceased, fold it and keep it at hand. It can be said that it is a funerary object, including clothes and shoes and a small bag of rice, which is about the size of a fist.

Money, this is very important, it is real money, RMB. Relative relatives leave 20 yuan to 50 yuan, which means the total amount is not fixed. After the money is collected, it is folded and stuffed into the hands of the deceased. May he have the money to go to the underworld and eat and drink. If the children are filial, they will take out about 1000 yuan and put it in the pocket of the deceased's shirt or suit.

There are different ways to play with funerary objects in different places. Some people will put some paper money on white cloth. The square is not the money of Tiandi Bank. Some people will also put some things that the deceased liked or commonly used before his death and burn them with the body. No matter what you burn, the dead can carry this meaning.

Conditional families will arrange makeup and beauty for this part of the body, but ordinary people are basically exempted and will not toss too many things.

In the above situation, even if the deceased dies in the hospital, the hospital will arrange rooms for family members and the deceased to be alone. This is a problem. The customs of white affairs vary from place to place, and hospitals know it, so they will give enough time to send it to the funeral home.

The hospital is a place where life and death alternate. Dead people are common in hospitals. Of course, you are not a relative of the deceased. If you see someone pushing a patient's cart in the hospital aisle, the patient's face is covered with sheets, and his hands and feet are not exposed, and he is basically dead. It is common near the emergency department.

It is usually sent to the funeral home afterwards. If family members arrive, cremation can be arranged at that time. If there are not enough people, the funeral home will arrange a mourning hall. The funeral home will have a special venue and a refrigerator. The cover is transparent, and the dead person's face will be covered with a white cloth. Generally, cremation will be arranged until the next day, and some will arrange a memorial service first, open the coffin for everyone to take a last look, and then cremate.
