Can the new grave be filled with earth?

New graves can't be filled.

According to the traditional custom, the new grave cannot be filled for three years. If you want to fill the grave with earth, you need to do it during your stay in Tomb-Sweeping Day. However, there is a leap month in the lunar calendar, so it is actually impossible to add soil.

Although it is said that the new grave can be filled in three years, in fact, it is necessary to analyze specific problems and not be too rigid. There must be some special circumstances in life. At this time, the requirements are not so strict, even if new soil is added, it will not bring serious consequences. For example, due to the weather, the grave was washed away by rain, resulting in the coffin being exposed. At this time, it is necessary to add soil in time. In this special case, adding soil is not taboo, so don't worry.

Pay attention to adding soil

1, supplemented by lateral soil

Before filling the soil or moving the grave, we should also carefully observe whether there has been frequent heavy rain recently and whether there is water seepage in the tomb. If this is the case, you can borrow soil directly from the cemetery to supplement it.

2. Choose a good day to add soil

If it is not caused by human collapse, but by natural factors, it doesn't matter if you choose a good day to add soil. Just sprinkle some grains and cinnabar on the collapsed hole, pour a bottle of mineral water and fill it with clean loess.

3. Grave-sweeping memorial service

If nothing special happens and you add soil to the new grave without knowing the taboo of geomantic omen, then you must find a way to remedy it in time and don't take down the new soil. This will not only have no effect, but will destroy the pattern of the cemetery. It is necessary to organize the whole family to pay homage to the cemetery in time, burn paper money, set off firecrackers, carry offerings, express their grief for their deceased relatives, and minimize losses.
