Chapter 183 Aunt Yis Funeral(2/2)

He first checked the identity of the deceased's family before starting the farewell ceremony.

The farewell ceremony was very old-fashioned. The host started to read the eulogy that the third uncle had written in advance.

The content of the eulogy is nothing more than praising the deceased for how hardworking and kind he was, how he treated others politely, how he was diligent and thrifty, etc.

After reading the eulogy, the last step is to say goodbye to the deceased.

The so-called farewell ceremony is different from that of later generations.

The general process is that the family members stand aside and bow to the worshiping guests in return.

In this era, simple funerals were practiced. The host directly asked the family to take the lead and led a group of guests to circle around the body of the deceased three times before bidding farewell.

But when asking family members to lead the team, Qin Huairu and Gu Dani had another argument.

They all believed that they were Aunt Yi's closest family members and refused to give in to each other.

In the end, everyone had no choice but the second uncle stepped in to mediate.

Let them lead the team side by side regardless of whether they are close or distant.

The two reluctantly agreed to the suggestion, and then each walked side by side with their three children.

Behind their two families, according to the rules, the relatives of the deceased were arranged in order of blood relationship, but Aunt Yi had no children and no relatives, so everyone left casually.

The second uncle, however, pays attention to seniority wherever he goes. He feels that Yang Jun is the first uncle in the yard and should go in front.

Yang Jun couldn't refuse, so he had to be ranked first, followed by the second uncle Liu Haizhong, and then the third uncle Yan Bugui...

After the farewell ceremony.

Four staff members came in and took Aunt Yi's body for cremation.

Everyone came out of the hall and waited outside the cremator.

About half an hour passed.

The staff brought out an enamel jar from inside.

Since the donations raised this time were not much, most of them were used to buy a cemetery. There was no extra money to buy an urn, so I had to find an enamel jar to store the ashes.

But when they were picking up the ashes, Qin Huairu and Gu Dani had another argument over who was holding the urn.

Qin Huairu believed that Bangge was his grandson and was qualified to hold the ashes.

Gu Dani, on the other hand, believed that his son Tiedan was more qualified as a grandnephew, and even retorted, saying that her aunt did not recognize Qin Huairu's family during her lifetime.

The second uncle saw them arguing there, and the fat on his face was so angry that he walked over angrily.

"Okay, don't argue anymore."
