Funeral taboos 1. Those who avoid attending the funeral are in harmony with the birthday of the deceased.
Because of the principle of "the meridian meets the Jin Mu", if the deceased was born in the following year, anyone born in the afternoon can attend the funeral ceremony regardless of the relatives and friends of the deceased. In addition, pregnant women and babies are also forbidden to send funerals, for fear of being infected with ominous gas.
2. Avoid people attending funerals and the zodiac of the deceased.
At funerals, there is usually a sign that there is a zodiac that conflicts with the zodiac of the deceased and must be avoided. Some will put a basin of water in the mourning hall to bathe the guests who come to attend the funeral to dispel the ominous atmosphere.
Don't cry when you die, drop your tears on the dead.
During the funeral, relatives and friends of the deceased should remain calm. No one is allowed to cry at this time, otherwise the dead can't leave, and their souls can't ascend to heaven, so they can only stay in the funeral home. If you accidentally drop your tears on the deceased because you cry, it will make the deceased wander around the world and cannot be reincarnated.
4. Avoid burial in July.
July is regarded as a ghost month by ordinary people. At this time, the gates of hell in the underworld opened wide and many ghosts were exiled to the underworld. If you are buried in July, it may attract more ghosts, which is even worse for your family.
Don't cut your hair or shave during mourning.
According to folk custom, during the funeral at home, their relatives can't have their hair cut and shave. It is generally believed that this is to express extreme grief, so that it is impossible to take care of pruning. And its other purpose is to ward off evil spirits, to make yourself look different in peacetime through unkempt appearance, so that the dead can't recognize it and avoid being disturbed.
6. Don't say "heavy" when burying.
During the funeral, the pallbearers should keep quiet and avoid talking about the word "heavy". If you accidentally blurt it out, it may lead to accidents, such as the coffin being heavier and more difficult to lift, or the coffin falling to the ground while moving.
7. Don't look at temple buildings, don't look at marriage, and don't touch pregnant women and babies with filial piety.
Generally speaking, people who wear mourning clothes have an ominous smell, so all occasions related to gods and celebrations, such as building temples, setting stoves, or weddings and wedding banquets, should be avoided. Otherwise, under the fierce infection of filial piety, the temple building is ineffective, or the relationship between newlyweds is not good. If undertaker comes into contact with the mother or baby, it will lead to dystocia of the mother and premature death of the baby.
