Taipei is making funerals more fair for everyone. The city made new guidelines in February. These guidelines help funeral businesses treat all people equally.
In the past, men led funeral ceremonies. Women did other work. LGBTQ+ people were often left out. Their partners could not say goodbye properly.
The new guidelines say everyone should participate equally. This includes all family members and partners. It does not matter if they are men, women, or LGBTQ+ people. Everyone can help say goodbye to loved ones.
