Chinese cemeteries are generally located on hillsides as this is thought to improve the feng shui. The further up the hill the grave is,the better its situation is thought to be. When the procession arrives at the graveside it is taken down from the hearse and,again,all present turn away from the coffin, and also turn away when it is lowered into the grave. Family members and other relatives throw a handful of earth into the grave before it is filled. After the funeral,all clothes worn by the mourners will be burned in order to avoid the bad luck associated with death. After the coffin is buried, the keeper of the cemetery will also offer prayers for the deceased. Family members and relatives are presented with a red packet (a sign of gratitude from the deceased family, and the money contained in it must be spent) and a white towel,also as a sign of gratitude but also for funeral guests to wipe off perspiration.
