Finally, funeral service is conducted. People burn incense by turns in front of the altar while the priest recites a sutra. After the service is over, family members and close relatives go to the graveyard and lay ashes to rest. Dates and arrangements of funeral shown above are merely examples. People often decide the dates in accordance with the Buddhist calendar.
Family members prepare token gifts to be given back to the people who come to mourn for the dead.
Money should be passed in envelopes related to the occasion, such as wedding, funeral, visiting someone at the hospital, etc. I'll put the photo of it in the future. People send special telegram related to the funeral service. It is available at post offices, shops around you, or through telephone service. Otherwise, send chrysanthemum flowers, specially arranged for the funeral.
