After the body is placed in the coffin, the coffin is placed on the left side of a large room. The in-laws give blankets to the family of the deceased to drape the coffin. The large house is a spirit house. It is for the deceased's afterlife. After the coffin is buried, the spirit house is burned for the use of the deceased.

This is the place where people bow (or kowtow) to the deceased. In the morning, they bow twice and burn paper "spirit" money. Next to the shrine are some clothes and shoes, along with a toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, a tub of water, and a towel. There are four small statues of people representing the deceased's servants.

The person died of cancer, and a Daoist monk was asked to perform a special ceremony to pray to the medicine god. This ceremony lasts around two hours and is meant to ensure that the deceased can enter the afterlife without any disease.

During the funeral, close friends send baskets of flowers and cans of food.

At the grave site.
