Chinese Funeral Ceremony: Part 2 - The burial process

[Cecil Lee]

On reaching the gravesite,
1. The coffin is lowered.
The first picture (lowering of coffin) shows clearly the profile of the front shape of a typical traditional Chinese coffin.
For the bedroom, it is not auspicious to have a headboard that looks like this side view of a Chinese coffin.
2. The next step is as shown in Part 1, the dotting of the eyes of the portrait of the dead.
3. A ceremony is performed prior to the lowering and covering up of the coffin.
