Matters needing attention in burial of the elderly

1, taboo "hot death and hot burial", the so-called "hot death and hot burial" is caused by direct burial after death, which is a taboo in geomantic omen. Therefore, it is necessary to wait for a period of time before burial after death, regardless of the cause of death.

People who die in other places must be sent home for burial. In this process, it may take longer. In this special case, it can be more than three days, but not more than seven days. At the same time, it should be placed in an ice coffin to ensure the integrity of the remains.

3. Taboo when the elderly enter the coffin, avoid cats and dogs approaching, and avoid using willows in the coffin. Folk cats and dogs have spirits, cats give birth to yin, and dogs give birth to yang, all of which are unfavorable to the deceased.

4. Don't take filial piety to see temple building, get married and get in touch with women and children. Because most people think that filial piety has an ominous smell, all occasions related to gods and celebrations, such as building temples, setting stoves, or weddings and wedding banquets, should be avoided.
