出殡时，灵柩由杠夫抬到墓地，杠夫数量的多少取决于死者的身份地位。清朝从皇帝的一百二十八杠到民间最少的两人抬，叫做穿心杠。民国以后，规矩不在，有钱人家为了摆阔气、显排场，也可以随意使用杠夫数量。杠夫一说“起杠”，长子“摔盆儿”，长长的出殡队伍就出发了。下葬后的第三天，亲人到坟上去填土，叫“圆坟”。

When starting for cemetery, the coffin should be carried to the grave by special coffin bearers, the numbers of coffin bearers depended on the social position of the deceased. In Qing Dynasty, the coffin of the Emperor was carried by 128 bearers, while there were only two bearers in folk, called as "core-through carrying". Since the Republic of China, the rules were not, the riches could freely use the number of bearers in order to display their noble status and extravagance. When the bearers shouted "lifting up", the eldest son began to "breaking crock", then the crowd team started for cemetery. On the third day after burying, all relatives should go to the cemetery to fill earth, called as "finishing tomb".
