According to the present invention, a pillow used in a funeral includes: an upper surface unit having a circular plate recessed in the center lower part to form a curved surface while coming in contact with the rear surface of a head of the body and a cylinder unit which is formed on the outer end of the upper surface unit toward the lower part to determine the height of the pillow while including a cylindrical surface. The cylinder unit has a curved coupling surface unit with a predetermined curvature and a predetermined radius to lay the head of the body comfortably on the contact part of the upper surface unit and the cylinder unit. The cylinder unit comes in a cylindrical column shape to be tilted at a predetermined angle from the upper part to fit the pillow thereto to adjust the height of the pillow. A lower surface ring is formed on the lower end of the cylinder unit to come in contact with the lower surface of the coffin and form a right angle with the cylinder unit and to reinforce the strength to enable the cylinder unit to maintain the shape without shrinking. The pillow is made of paper including plant-based fibers therein to be easily decomposed and burned in a cremation ceremony. The cylinder unit additionally includes: multiple stoppers having a predetermined height and protruding to the outside to catch the lower surface ring when the pillow is fitted at a higher height to adjust the height and multiple strength reinforcement grooves which guide the upper and lower stoppers to be arranged in a straight line when the pillow is arranged in a second stage or when reinforcing the strength and are vertically recessed. The pillow for a funeral can easily and reliably support the head of the body, adjust the height of the pillow in accordance with the position of the body, have a string inserted into the lower part to bind a head shielding device easily, and be made of a mixture of natural pulp and traditional Korean paper through a molding and compressing
