殡葬是人类对已失去自然生命的同类所采取的意味深长的告别活动,其间沉淀着深厚的文化内容,是一种文化特定的存在形态。殡葬文化是殡葬行为的总和,对殡葬文化的研究在构建和谐社会和小康社会的建设中有着特殊的意义。

Whereas funeral service is a ceremony to express the condolences for the deceased, it reflects the diversity of profound cultures in certain specific forms or features. Funeral culture is the aggregation of all funeral activities. Therefore, it is important to study funeral culture for the sake of social harmony and well-off social construction.
