Funeral "wonton" bread is a three-layer round cake with a circle of red jujubes on each layer. It is the same shape and size as the Chinese New Year bread except that a cypress twig is placed on the top to symbolize eternity for the dead.
Embroidery works for funeral service include a pillow with a "Rooster to call for the spirit" or the "old pillow" which has a girl and a boy on each side, and a pair of "old shoes" which has embroidery "Lotus flower," metaphorical of water and earth. Old pillow and old shoes are likened to heaven and earth. When the spirit of the dead connects to heaven and earth, it reaches eternity.
