Artifact Shown at Yonsei Funeral Service Building From February 8 to March 7, a special exhibition on funeral culture around the world was held at the lobby of Yonsei Funeral Service building. The exhibition featured 190 photographs and artifacts from all around the world including artifacts from Japan, China, Africa as well as those from Korea. Some of the interesting artifacts shown at the exhibition included a drawing of Korean funeral published in 1905 on a cover page of French traveler's magazine. In the drawing titled "Ah," a man is on a rooftop of house waving clothes of the deceased, which was a part of Gobok (皐復) ritual to summon spirit of the deceased. Along with the drawing, Korean artifacts such as shroud, coffin, bowls and plates that are buried with the deceased were displayed. A Japanese funeral bier that held the body of the deceased in a sitting position was also displayed in the exhibition with other artifacts from other countries such as those of Hahn tribe from China and animal-shaped coffins from Ghana. The exhibition also featured more ancient artifacts such as those from the catacombs of early Christians and mummies from Egypt.
