First endeavour to source a personal contact from the person who can be called for support and for guidance should religious services be necessary.

Buddhist:

It is best to source the name of a spiritual contact from the person as the Chinese form of Buddhism is relatively free of overt ritual, while there are some practices that should be conducted respecting the person's language and culture.
