My coworker is only 28 years old.
I was deeply sorry because he was too young to become a host of funeral.
Let me describe geral funeral process what you will see as a guest here in Korea.
In Korean traditional way, we hold the funeral for 3 days and nights.
People can visit anytime during 3 days.
You give the money to the family of dead person at the entrance.
We give them money because it costs a lot to hold the funeral. It must be a big help.
When you enter the funeral place, you can see the picture of dead person and white flowers.
The coffine is behind of the picture.
Visitors bow to the picture twice.
We bow to dead person twice not once to express respect to them.
After that, visitors burn the inscence.
And we bow to the host.
The host also bow to the visitor simultaneously.
Then visitors can go to the dining place, which is a seperate place from coffin room.
Host serve the meal to the guests.
After eating the meal, visitors can leave there.
