In Korea, remains of the dead are carried to the cemetery on a funeral palanquin, since burial is still common in the country. Roosters are carved on the four corners of the palanquin, birds on the four walls, and dragons with three dolls on their back are carved on its roof, symbolizing communication with heaven. The exhibit was used from the later 19th century, in the village of Andong in Gyeongsangbuk-do. This region still maintains strongly traditional cultural practices.

The “five-clothing system” prescribed what to wear at funerals, according to kinship with the deceased. The chief mourner wore a linen dress (suui), a waist belt (yojil), a neck tie (sujil), a tall cap, and straw sandals, and would hold a funeral stick.
