The funeral quilt, also known as "shoubei" or burial blanket, is a traditional item used to cover the body of the deceased. Each type of funeral quilt carries its own symbolism, such as wishing peace for the departed, expressing filial piety, or offering protection against misfortune in the afterlife. Choosing a suitable funeral quilt is a meaningful way for families to demonstrate respect, remembrance, and blessings for their loved ones. This custom, with its long history, reflects the Chinese emphasis on familial bonds and the belief in honoring the deceased as if they were still alive.
