When is the best time to bury a deceased relative?

My friend's father died, so I usually choose to go in the morning.

The reason for this is the following：

Generally speaking, there are two factors: it is related to the theory of yin and yang. In the morning, the sun rises; In the afternoon, Yin Qi became prosperous. Therefore, people think that since people and ghosts are separated by yin and yang, it is better to stay away when yin is heavy. Otherwise, it is easy to recruit "ghosts". Go to the grave in the morning to show respect for the dead. This is the first thing that comes to mind in a day. This is the same as visiting a patient in the morning.

Condolence process

First of all, we must decorate the mourning hall. There was a table with a white tablecloth in front of the spirit. There are offerings, incense burners, candlesticks and ever-burning lamps on the table. Before the funeral, this ever-burning lamp must be guarded day and night and cannot be extinguished. It is said that this lamp is the soul of the dead. It is forbidden to park bodies and coffins in broad daylight. It is said that they are afraid of being controlled by the so-called "sun crystal and moonlight", and they are even more afraid of offending the gods of past dynasties. Therefore, as long as a simple memorial ceremony is held, it is necessary to build a Peng Ling.

The size of Peng Ling mainly depends on the pattern of funeral homes. If you only build a shed in the yard, it is called a "flat shed with a roof" or a "hall", just like a classical hall with a ridge on it. If there is a two-story courtyard for mourning, a shed can be built to cover both of them. The roof of the mourning hall courtyard is higher, and the roof of the front yard is slightly lower, so that the two roofs are connected into a whole, and the rear is higher and the front is lower, which is called "one hall and one roll", that is, the high roof in the backyard is the "temple" and the low roof in the front yard is the "roll".

The so-called "temple" is the palace; The so-called "roll" means that the roof of the shed is full of movable seats that can be rolled up. This shed has always been tightly wrapped with several layers of mat foil, without cedar, which is not only beautiful, but also watertight. From the appearance, it is magnificent, like a palace, which makes people feel sad.
