With doing further research I found out that

Chinese people believe that when you die, your spirit is transported across a river to the underworld by underworld spirits (is any of this sounding familiar?). These spirits are terrified of the colour red (explaining why, in your Chinese zodiac birth year, you’ll be needing to wear red underwear for protection from said spirits) which means you should be dressed for your funeral in blue or yellow. If you wear red, the spirits will be unable to bear you across the river and you will remain on earth, forever unable to rest.

The only exceptions to the burial in red rules are these. Firstly, if you die beyond the age of eighty and have lived a good life, you are considered exempt from first visiting the underworld, and have a celestial ‘free pass’ straight to heaven. The second exception is rather more macabre – if you die a violent death and your family, mad with grief, wish to seek revenge, they will bury you in red deliberately, so that your spirit will never be able to enter the underworld and you will haunt the earth as a ghost for all eternity, searching for those who harmed you ( they also practice it in Taiwan).

 Using this information I decided to change the entire colour palete of the book and only using the colours yellow, white and blue, with black for the text. I discovered that when using this colour chioces my looked more liveler and which i taught gives off the energy of the female funeral strippers.

I also Decised to incoporate more traditional elements such as music andother activites that go on during the Funeral.
