Strippers and pole dancers perform at funeral services in rural Hebei



Funerals in rural Hebei province have been spiced up recently with the addition of strippers and pole dancers at services, reports Tencent.

Tales of this scandalous spectacle emerged following the recent Spring Festival, where people returned to their hometowns in the region and were startled to discover the new X-rated entertainment at funerals.



Apparently, hosts of these funerals decided they needed to lighten the sombre mood and would invite the adult performers onstage to cheer up the attending mourners once the funeral service was concluded.



They might not want to attract too much attention, however, given the crackdown on 'obscene' burial practices coming after a number of similarly smutty services in Jiangsu in 2006.
