Solemn, formal funeral vocabulary. Most often appears in the set phrase 瞻仰遗容 (zhānyǎng yíróng) — 'to view the face of the deceased' at a wake or state funeral. Don't use it casually.

In Chinese funeral tradition, family and dignitaries pay respects by 瞻仰遗容 — silently bowing at the open casket or in front of a framed portrait. This is the standard formula in news reports of state funerals (e.g., for political leaders).
