Introduction to Taoist Funeral Customs

Nirvana Memorial Garden is a One stop Solutions on Taoist Funeral Services, Honoring Filial Piety and Life’s Final Journey

Taoist funerals are an essential part of Chinese traditional death rites, reflecting reverence for ancestors, deities, and a philosophical outlook on life, death, and reincarnation. Each dialect group has its own intricate and solemn ceremonial procedures. Nirvana’s expert team is well-versed in these traditions and provides heartfelt, respectful, and ceremonially appropriate arrangements.


Hokkien Taoist Funeral Customs

Hokkiens emphasize filial piety and propriety, ensuring complete and respectful rituals.

• Altar & Ceremony Setup: The funeral hall is arranged according to proper feng shui, with ancestral tablets and deity offerings. Taoist priests select an auspicious date to conduct chanting rituals to guide the deceased.
• Rite of Mourning: Family members wear traditional mourning attire and follow hierarchical rituals, including triple offerings, bowing by descendants, and condolences from visitors.
• Soul-Guiding Ritual: Priests guide the spirit back to ancestral roots, symbolizing a peaceful return home.
• Spirit Dispelling & Cremation: A “send-off” ritual is performed to cleanse and protect the family, followed by cremation or burial.
  
  

Teochew funerals preserve many ancient rites, focusing on ritual beauty and filial expression.
 

• Altar Opening: Priests set up a ritual altar to “open the path” for the deceased, helping the soul transcend suffering. The ceremony is accompanied by sacred instruments and chanting.
• Wailing & Mourning Music: Female relatives express grief through traditional wailing, a distinctive feature of Teochew funerals.
• Prayers to Deities & Ancestors: Offerings are made to deities such as the City God and Earth God, seeking peace for the soul and blessings for the family.
• Elaborate Paper Offerings: Including paper mansions, silver and gold ingots, and paper horses, symbolizing wealth and shelter in the afterlife.

Hakkas are known for frugality but conduct funerals with great dignity, emphasizing a peaceful burial.
 

• Death Announcement & Vigil: The family notifies relatives and begins a vigil that lasts until the funeral procession.
• Chanting & Rituals: Taoist priests perform rites such as “breaking the hell gates” and “soul guiding” to ease the deceased’s journey.
• Extended Rituals: Ceremonies are held every 7 days, up to 49 days (“doing merits”), and larger memorials are held on the 100th day or 1st anniversary.
• Careful Burial: A suitable date and feng shui location are chosen to ensure peace for the deceased and prosperity for descendants.
