The old man in the countryside died and no one carried the coffin. Any good suggestions? What do you think of this?

The old man in the countryside died without carrying the coffin. This phenomenon is really common in rural Sichuan. The specific reason is that the elderly, children and young people in rural areas have gone out to work. After the old man's death, his eight relatives traveled for miles in Fiona Fang to collect enough coffins. I have witnessed this kind of thing with my own eyes!

Sichuan is a famous labor export province in China. Nowadays, there are very few young and middle-aged laborers in rural areas of Sichuan. Basically, the permanent residents are either elderly people over 60 years old or children who are still in school. Young people cannot stay at home all the time. This is the present situation of rural areas in Sichuan. It's really difficult to find a few young adults who need labor in the village!

The funeral customs in rural Sichuan are also different from those in other places. We all take care of ourselves there, and there is no rule that our neighbors must come forward to help. People with good relationships will buy some paper money and firecrackers, and then give some small gifts. People with ordinary relationships are eager to stay away, so when it comes to white things, relatives at home are basically busy, and neighbors in the village are waiting for dinner before leaving. That's basically it!

20 18 I saw it happen with my own eyes. An old man walked in the village next door and had three sons at home. From the first day of his death, the three sons began to look everywhere for people who carried coffins at the funeral. Eight people who didn't gather enough coffins were scattered all over Wuliba Township. The coffin bearers of the older generation were old, and their physical strength could not support them to carry hundreds of kilograms of coffins up the mountain. There were only a few young people. After all, it is a solemn thing to carry the coffin after the old man dies. There are many taboos and rules along the way when carrying the coffin. Young people don't understand. The last sons had no way out, so they joined the coffin-carrying team and barely got enough people. This kind of thing is not a case in our hometown, but it has been a long-standing social problem!

Perhaps it is because of this problem that someone in our hometown has set up a one-stop funeral service company, just like the unique "family banquet going to the countryside" in Sichuan. As long as the host family pays, the funeral company will be responsible for the specific procedures from the wake to the burial. Because they are all local people, the workflow of the funeral company conforms to the local burial customs and rules, which really solves a big problem for the local people. The professional pallbearers recruited by funeral companies are all professionally trained.

Today, China has entered an aging society, and the elderly population has reached several hundred million. It is inevitable that many old people will "drive cranes to the west" every year. The plight of the elderly in rural areas who can't find a coffin carrier after their death must be improved, and the emergence of a professional funeral one-stop service company has just solved this social problem, facilitated the people and solved the employment problem of some people. Achieving multiple goals is really a great thing!
