China has better funerals than us too

"The crowd is pushed to climax, roaring with laughter, whistling, applauding and cursing," state media said.

"As the performers saunter into the audience to jiggle their breasts and rub men's crotches, a reminder of 'no photographs allowed' can occasionally be heard."

Hiring entertainment for funerals is a longstanding practice in rural China, as ensuring a high number of mourners attend the ceremony is a way of showing respect to the dead, the Global Times reported.

"Chinese rural households are more inclined to show off their disposable incomes by paying out several times their annual income for actors, singers, comedians, and — most recently, strippers — to comfort the bereaved and entertain the mourners," state media said.

Strippers are also sometimes hired for weddings and temple fairs.

An expert quoted in the newspaper partly attributed the practice of hiring exotic dancers to "fertility worship", as the erotic elements at funerals "convey the deceased's wishes of being blessed with many children".

"According to the interpretation of cultural anthropology, the fete is originated from the worship of reproduction," another media expert said.

"Therefore the erotic performance at the funeral is just a cultural atavism."

In 2015 two villages in the provinces of Hebei and Jiangsu made headlines with viral photos of strippers at funerals inviting "grieving" men to come on stage and undress them — seniors and children are seen standing nearby watching attentively.

There some dutch photographer that has a program about China on dutch tv. Showed people throwing brand new electronics into the grave for the afterlife. They also search for women they can bury with people that died as virgins so they can get some pussy in the afterlife.

American funerals are kind of a bummer, to be honest.
