Abstract:

 The construction of social welfare cemeteries leads to the deforestation in Cangshan Mountain, which severely damages the
natural and cultural landscape. The reform of the funeral and interment in Yinqiao Town leads to the construction of Heyun Peak
Village Social Welfare Sepulchral Chapel. The reconstruction of funeral culture improves the transform of scattering mode to the
concentration mode, from plane pattern to the three dimensional pattern, from traditional mode to ecological mode, from the villager
autonomous governance mode to government leading governance mode, for constructing the funeral rules with autonomous participation
under the guidance of government. By adopting the environment friendly style, low cost, and acceptable funeral, the reform of
ecological, economical, people benefited and harmonious funeral can be realized.

Key words: Erhai Lake area, Bai ethnic group, funeral culture, reform
