Rules for burying parents' ashes together

6. After that, about 2 bags of Yin Fu soil (according to the size of the tomb) were scattered around the urn to fill the space of the whole tomb, so that Yin Fu soil can protect the whole urn, which means that the deceased can rest in peace.

7. After the above process, with the confirmation of the relatives of the deceased, the burial master is responsible for sealing the cave.

8. The relatives of the deceased held a sacrificial ceremony. Present flower baskets and bouquets on tombstones, graves and open spaces in front of graves, and present fresh fruits. You can say something comforting to the dead to express your condolences.
