Abstract Driven by market economy, the funeral service in Chinese rural areas has shifted from the cooperation among clansmen, neighbors, friends and relatives in “the differential mode of association” in traditional society to an instant transaction with money as the medium. This transition can be attributed to the factors as the transformation from the acquaintance society to the semi-acquaintance society, decline in mutual assistance, and economic rationality dominating social values. Taking Shicun village in Hunan Province as a case, the paper analyzes the transformation process from cooperation to marketization of rural funeral service. During the transition, the traditional rural cultural norms are losing their force, public living space is diminishing, simple rural life is plagued by utilitarianism, and money is playing an increasingly important role in interpersonal relationship.
