@Justinrleung Is there a difference between this and 抬棺? The wording at w:zh:護柩人員 seems to indicate a difference. —Suzukaze-c (talk) 05:50, 3 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Suzukaze-c: Maybe, but I'm not sure what exactly is different. I'm only familiar with 扶靈, which is the common word used in Christian circles. 05:53, 3 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
Hm. @Tooironic? —Suzukaze-c (talk) 06:06, 3 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
I am not aware of any difference either, sorry. ---> Tooironic (talk) 06:35, 3 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Justinrleung, Suzukaze-c, Tooironic: In Hong Kong, friends of the deceased 扶靈 by putting their hands on the casket when it is moved out of the hall of the funeral parlour. See this for example. RcAlex36 (talk) 17:51, 3 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
@RcAlex36: It may be different practices due to how the funeral home (or wherever the funeral is held) is configured. From what I know, we usually translate the people who 扶靈 (often friends / family members of the deceased) as pallbearer here in Canada. — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 17:59, 3 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
