| The final nine-day period in a Caodaist funeral. |
A Caodai funeral, which is believed to enable a soul to pass the Nine Heavens, includes: nine nine-day periods, a Tiểu Tường (Little Fortune or the Mid Funeral) and a Ðại Tường(Great Fortune or the Funeral End).
The First Nine-day Period: 9 days after the death, a ceremony is held in the local Holy House. The Second Nine-day Period: 9 days after the first period, another ceremony is held.
The process continues the same way until the Ninth Nine-day Period, that is 81 days after the death.
200 more days is Tiểu Tường and after that 300 more days is Ðại Tường. Since then on, đám giỗ (Death Anniversary) is held annually.
