The Chinese word 殡仪馆 (bìn yí guǎn), meaning "funeral home" or "mortuary", is a logical compound formed by combining three meaningful characters: 殡 (bìn), which refers to the rites surrounding burial or funeral matters; 仪 (yí), meaning ceremony or ritual; and 馆 (guǎn), meaning a public building or hall. Thus, the term constructs its meaning sequentially as a "hall for funeral rituals", perfectly describing an establishment where funeral services and ceremonies are conducted. This formation follows a common Chinese lexical pattern where modifying elements (殡仪, funeral ceremony) are placed before a category noun (馆, building) to create a specific, transparent compound word.
