Death culture in Taiwan

                            

In Taiwan, when the family member pass away, we usually have this tent near their home and do the several ceremony for at least 7 days.

The pink cloth is given by the family or the closer friend. The sentences are like proverbs and mean that the person who pass away is nice.

Those paper foldings symbolize money and can be sending to the deceased by burn. People believe that can give the deceased better life in the other world.

                                  

The clothes is traditional clothes for bereavement. It usually made by linen.

After bereavement, the deceased is buried in the place which they chose before. Every year, tomb-sweeping festival, their family will bring a lot of food to offer sacrifice.  

The yellow paper is very important for tomb-sweeping festival. Because we have a filial piety story which is a girl want to find the her father's grave and the god help her. So the yellow paper stop on his father's grave. According to this story, every one when they go to see their dead family member, they do the same thing to show they are the same as the filial piety girl.
