There are taboos in both weddings and funerals.
For instance, on the wedding day, we fear the lead car breaking down. It may seem like a minor issue but can cast a shadow over the couple's entire lives.

The crowded funeral home fell into sudden silence, including the Onmyoji performing blessings and rituals.
Truly unprofessional.
You're dealing with the dead, and yet you can't maintain your composure.
