故事写的是在一个临海的小渔村,一个老妇人被病魔夺去了生命。这一来,原本非常平静的小渔村立刻起了变化,汇拢来的女眷们簇拥着遗体,毫无忌惮地放声痛哭。不久,吊唁的客人和村民纷纷沓至。亡人是个著名作家的母亲,所以也惊动了中央及地方的要员。时光流逝,夜入三更,人们举杯落盏之余,有的已是横躺竖卧,烂醉如泥。但也有人或醉心赌牌,或大嚷大叫,或出拳动手打骂起来。丧家乱哄哄的,一片狼藉。天亮了,送葬的时刻到了。人们抬着棺舆,排着队列,唱着挽歌,向墓地进发。下葬结束后,回到丧家的人们,将死者的遗像安放在灵堂,最后照纪念照。大家神情凝重,照相人的一句玩笑,才把大家逗得笑了起来。活动结束了,小小的渔村又恢复了往日的平静。
