The funeral home is state run in Foshan (and I suspect the same case for most other Chinese cities). Organised, and totally efficient. There's plans A B C to choose from, people arrived at hospital soonest to "offer service".
Then at the funeral home, the ceremonies are short (10-15mins), there seem to be more time spent on putting up the flowers, placing the coffin, etc, then the actual ceremony.
There's a LED signboard about 3meters long that has the name of the deceased, with a digital background of your choice, just like your PC screensaver (you can choose from 2 photos, the one I saw is a green countryside scenery) on a screen that's 4meters long.
The whole process runs like clock-work. Honestly there isnt too much time for mourning...I guess when there's 1.3bn people, and 10m people die every year, there's little time or space for much anything else?
