Custom Wedding Most wedding ceremonies are held at bridegroom's home, public places or meeting rooms of companies on holidays or after work. After wedding ceremony, couples have their pictures taken at triumphal arch or Mansudae and pay reverence at Yeolsareung in Daeseongsan, tombs of family members of Kim Jeong-suk and Kim Il-sung in their way home. On wedding day, bridegrooms usually wear a suit and badge where Kim Il-sung's face is engraved on left chest, and brides wear light pink colored Hanbok (traditional Korean costume) and flowers on right chest and Kim Il-sung badge on left chest. Banquet on one's 60th birthday Since its establishment, the North Korean government has banned people from holding banquet on their 60th birthday to prevent extravagance. Some of its residents celebrated their 60th birthday in secret, but since 1961 when then supreme leader Kim Il-sung announced that people of sixty are still young and people of ninety are old, nobody has held banquet on their 60th birthday. Funeral Funeral service lasts for one to two days and it hardly lasts for three days. Recently, it became customary to have a one-day funeral due to economic and food crises. The government is supposed to give the eldest son of the deceased a three-day leave, 100,000 won in subsidy and 18 liters of rice, but recent worsening economic situation made it difficult for the government to support its residents. If bereaved family registers death of one of its family members with security office within jurisdiction or people's committee or national funeral home or convenience cooperatives in cities or collective farm in rural area, these institutions hold funeral service on behalf of the family. Memorial service North Korean people held memorial service according to Korea's traditional custom until the Korean War broke out, but the North Korean government banned the memorial service after ceasefire. In 1960's the government reversed policy partly permitting its residents to hold memorial service to preserve tradition and reduce complaints and discontent of North Korean people. Since Korean Thanks Giving Day (Chuseok) in 1988, the government has revived four major national holidays allowing people to visit their ancestral grave and cut the weeds around a grave.
