Four songs, playing intermittently for less than an hour, were charged at 1,000 yuan, which was something Ms. Huang had encountered in the funeral of the old man at the funeral home in Kunming. "I wouldn't accept any suggestions made by them on that occasion. I can only accept them." Yesterday morning, Ms. Huang entered the hotline and said that there were four pieces of music for $1,000 and the funeral home was entirely operating on windfall projects.

After Ms. Huang’s mother died, on March 16th, relatives and friends held a remains farewell ceremony and cremation at the funeral home in Kunming. On the morning of the same day, Ms. Huang and her family arrived early in the funeral home of Kunming, located in Paoma Mountain, and rented a medium-sized farewell hall for the elderly.
