The etiquette of wearing funeral clothes for the elderly who have passed away

1) According to traditional customs, the time to wear funeral clothes for an elderly person is usually when he is in poor condition but has not yet died. It is believed that the old man can take all the shrouds he wears at this time with him. If this is not possible, the elderly person should be dressed in burial clothes as soon as possible after his or her death. Wear your funeral clothes as early as possible and don’t delay.
2) Before dressing the deceased in shroud, the deceased must first be bathed and cleansed so that he or she can go cleanly. This not only expresses the filial piety of children and grandchildren, but also expresses the living's mourning and reluctance for the deceased. It is the last thing to do for the deceased relatives.
3) When cleaning yourself, you need to prepare a cover towel (to cover your body when changing clothes), two towels, an appropriate amount of alcohol (to wipe the whole body, alcohol wiping makes the skin smoother and easier to wear), a nursing pad, cotton balls and cotton swabs (to prevent unclean liquids from flowing out), a comb, tweezers, a large garbage bag, etc.
4) After bathing and cleansing, the next step is to dress the deceased in shroud. When dressing an elderly person in shroud, two people are usually required, one responsible for dressing and the other responsible for helping. If the deceased is a male, the burial clothes are usually worn by his sons or daughters; if the deceased is a female, the burial clothes are usually worn by his daughters or daughters-in-law. It is not easy for single children to lean forward when getting dressed. If conditions permit, asking other elders in the family to pass it on is also a good option.
5) The order of wearing funeral clothes, the order of dressing the deceased, is usually from inside to outside, from bottom to top. Family members can also prepare the burial clothes in layers in advance, which will make it easier for the elderly to wear them.
