A women's association from the village serves local snacks to the honored guests (usually family members of family) inside the special seating area. The family throwing the funeral pays for the matching costumes.

The guests also had their own platforms where they would eat and sleep for the whole funeral, this special seating area was only for when they first entered. Then they would be escorted out and another group of honored guests would arrive.
