How to deal with the portraits of parents?

Generally, there are the following treatment methods:

1. Hang or place it in the room where the elderly lived. This is a common practice in many places. Especially if there are many rooms in the home, the room where the elderly lived will be empty for a period of time after the death of the elderly. At this time, the portrait of the elderly can be hung on the wall of the room or placed on the desk in the room.

2. Consecrate it to the shrine at home. If you have a shrine or tablet at home, you can enshrine the portrait of the elderly person on the tablet. This happens mostly in rural areas, and in urban households there is basically no shrine or tablet in any house.

3. The portrait of the old man can also be placed in the room of their eldest son. This is the placement method we adopt here. If the eldest son is not around, it can be placed in the room of the eldest grandson. If there is none, it can also be placed in the room of their closest relative.

4. It can be placed in the family ancestral hall. Nowadays, unified family ancestral halls have been built in many places. In the ancestral halls, there are usually tablets dedicated to the deceased members of the family. According to the rules of the family ancestral hall, it is enough to place the portrait of the elderly in a suitable location, so that not only relatives in the family can worship it, but the whole clan can worship it.
