Confucianism -> Liji -> Tan Gong II -> 151

The sacrifice is offered on the day of interment;
they cannot bear that the departed should be left a single day (without a place to rest in).
On that day
the offerings, (previously) set forth (by the coffin), are exchanged for the sacrifice of repose.
The (continuous) wailing is ended, and they say, 'The business is finished.'
On that day
the sacrifices of mourning were exchanged for one of joy.
The next day
the service of placing the spirit-tablet of the departed next to that of his grandfather was performed.
The change to an auspicious sacrifice took place on that day,
and the placing the tablet in its place on the day succeeding
- (the son) was unable to bear that (the spirit of the departed) should be a single day without a resting-place.
