 As with any piece of furniture, an ancestral burial tableau can be made in any shape and with any style. However, there are three main components found in all of them:
-# '''The legs''' usually represent the overall view of the family and society of the deceased. Proving our ancestors had no idealistic views of dead people, the legs of particulary evil and deranged characters are twisted, painted with dark colors and filled with accounts of their unspeakable horrors. The tableaus of good and beneficial characters have simple and elegant legs painted with a single even coat of a bright color.

-# '''The body''' is how the deceased viewed themselves. Often, plans for this part of the tableau were made years in advance, as the soon-to-be feared the idea of the family not knowing how he viewed himself. This component was usually self-gratifying and most of the tableaus found are in the same style: a golden edge in an elaborate pattern (a sign of a good life), the [[tablankel]] wood polished to a bright green (a sign of good health), and in the shape of a geometrical figure. However, exceedingly strange designs have been found; most of them are credited to deranged or eccentric individuals with a more honest view about themselves.
