Wangsheng Funeral Parlor (Chinese: 往生堂 Wǎngshēng-táng) is a point of interest located in Liyue Harbor, Sea of Clouds, Liyue.
Along with burying Liyue Harbor's dead, they also perform funeral rites for adepti.
The Wangsheng Funeral Parlor has ties to the Fatui, and according to Childe, they "ostensibly" do not conduct in shady backroom deals like assassination.[1]

Lore[]
The Wangsheng Funeral Parlor was originally founded during or after the Archon War, when the fallen gods manifested demons that prompted Rex Lapis to send the Yaksha to protect Liyue. Since then, it has existed for 77 generations.[2] Over time, the Yaksha accumulated massive amounts of negative karma, some of which manifested into a plague that swept through Liyue, killing many in its path. Paranoid people believed it to be a curse from the gods, but a few realized that the plague could be contained by purifying the air and burning infected corpses. These people pioneered a new path and eventually founded the parlor. They and their successors would tirelessly maintain the balance between life and death. The Hu Family currently owns and operates the parlor.
It was originally more of a doctor's office than the funeral services that it is known for today.
