A proper farewell begins with a gesture of respect:
Understanding the practice of “Covering the Deities” in funeral customs.
Every traditional funeral practice passed down through generations carries within it the dignity accorded to the departed and the profound reverence held for the divine.
Before the coffin is brought into the home, covering the deities and reflective surfaces is a crucial step. It is not merely a matter of observing tradition – it is a tangible way for grieving families to compose themselves and attend to what must be done during moments of sorrow and uncertainty.
From the solemn act of covering the altar with red paper,
to the careful practice of concealing mirrors with white paper;
from the "men on the left, women on the right" rule for white cloth on the front door, to the different ways of covering surname plaques according to place of origin...
These seemingly intricate details each carry their own logic and wisdom, passed down with care.
Not sure where to begin? Don’t worry.

May this guide offer families facing farewell a little more peace of mind and a little calmer.
Leave the delicate arrangements of funeral customs to the Nirvana Care team—
so you can give your most precious time to what truly matters: saying goodbye.
(Note: Customs may vary slightly across different dialect groups. Please follow the instructions of your bereavement care provider.)
