so they copy the story?

I watched it.... only rm12 a ticket..this show got me think whats the point of doing all these funeral rites.

When people are all well alive, we should treat them with care and respect... no need for all these rituals that society taught us it will "pleased" them

Where u watch rm12?

Saw a youtube video whereby a Chinese medium mentioned that those rituals depicted in this movie were accurate. Also these rituals only work if the spirit is in shallow level of hell; will not work if the spirit is in deep level of hell (unable to pull them out).
How true I don't know

Buddhism also split to many country example;
Tibetan
Siam,Laos,Myanmar, Indian,Sri Lanka etc
China/ Twn (most common)

Of course each has their unique procedure. No wrong or right. Suit to family preference.

Monks begin the service by chanting
Buddhist funerals are simple, peaceful events. There are many traditions within Buddhism, but they often follow the same format.

Guests will sit and listen to Buddhist chants (which Buddhists call ‘sutras’). The chants or prayers they sing will depend on the branch of Buddhism the person who died followed.

Buddhists do not have priests or ministers in the same way many religions do. But they do have monks, who they consider the most holy and learned members of the community. Monks often live in monasteries and devote their lives to Buddhist meditation.

Post-Funeral Rituals

After the funeral, Taoist families typically observe a 49-day mourning ritual known as “An Ling” (安灵) and “Ji Ling” (寄灵). Taoists believe that individuals enter an intermediate state between their previous and next lives, and this phase can be as long as 49 days. During this time, families engage in various rituals to guide the deceased’s soul journey into their next life. This includes sending prayers and burning incense on every seventh day of the mourning period.
