Taoist priests played an important role in the funeral customs in Guizhou rural areas. From all aspects of the funeral, the Taoist priest participated in the whole process, such as opening the road, choosing the day, entering the coffin, sealing the coffin, chanting scriptures, and burial. There were many famous names and ceremonies. For these ceremonies, the family members often did not know much about them. Before the ceremony, they often took the form of a lump sum payment, set a standard, and let the Taoist master of Chengtou arrange it himself. During the funeral period, there were some specific customs related to Taoist priests, such as the habit of kneeling in front of the coffin to listen to the Taoist priest recite the scriptures. However, in recent years, the time for Taoist priests to recite the scriptures had been shortened. The time spent in the Taoist temple was not long except for a little longer at night. This was because prolonged kneeling and other behaviors could easily cause dissatisfaction among the host's family and friends. In addition, when he was doing the Taoist temple, the Taoist priest had some requirements, such as asking his relatives to cry and complain about the good of the deceased, his unfilial behavior, and to express his nostalgia for the deceased. In the cost of funerals, the cost of Taoist priests was also part of it. Under the local average level, the cost of Taoist priests could reach about 7500 yuan.
