Current problems of public memorial ceremony are only minor issues and this should not shake people's minds about the status of public memorial ceremony. However, if let these "distal" develops, public memorial ceremony must have the "fundamental" fatal injury, also affected the whole society as a whole atmosphere and cultural environment adversely.We should give public memorial ceremony activities an appropriate reform, and these reforms should be guided by respect for culture and the dissemination of the law under the concept, thus ensuring a healthy, harmonious public memorial ceremony activity down direction.The reform of public memorial ceremony activity should focus on the following four aspects: First of all, public memorial ceremony organizers should establish the right public memorial ceremony and dissemination of ideas; Secondly, it is necessary to rationally adjust the release of relevant information of public memorial ceremony ratio; Third, to further optimize a variety of symbols of public memorial ceremony; fourth, we must strictly regulate commercial communication of public memorial ceremony, the maintenance of the core layer of public memorial ceremony cultural activities.
