The ceremonies don't take place immediately after death. First, the body undergoes an intricate embalming process that keeps it preserved until the family raises sufficient funds for a funeral party. This can often take several weeks, sometimes years. In fact, until the body is buried, the person isn't considered dead. It is dressed in clothes and lives with the family in the home.
