On the beginning of the wake, family and relatives are not allowed to wear jewelries and red clothing. Red clothing is the symbol of good luck and happiness. Within the period of 49 days of mourning, the families are not allowed to cut their hair. Family members break the deceased comb into two (half of it shall be kept by family and other half is placed inside the casket). This weird death customs and burial traditions is superseded by wailing and crying out loud. This burial practice is very important on Chinese funeral wakes as it symbolizes respect and loyalty to the deceased, especially if the deceased left a big fortune or wealth. The children and daughters-in-law wear black clothing with hood of sack cloth on their head to signify that they are grieving; the sons-in-law wear white or bright clothing, because they are considered as “outsiders,” grandchildren and great-grandchildren wear light blue clothing. Visiting relatives must crawl approaching the coffin to pay their last respect. During funeral procession, if they have to cross water, they must inform the deceased, or else the deceased’s soul cannot pass across the water.
