Do you have any requirements for your family on the day of burial?

On the day of burial, the requirements for family members are seven not to bury their father and eight not to bury their mother.

"Seven" in "Seven Don't Bury Father" refers to the last digit of the date. If the father dies, the last digit of the burial date cannot be the number seven. The "father" here refers not only to the father, but also to all male elders. The ancients believed that if the date of male elders followed seven in the time of burial, it would violate the heaven and collide with the gods. For those who have passed away, they will not be safe in the grave. And the descendants of the dead will not have good luck.

"Eight don't bury the mother", that is to say, if the mother dies or other female elders in the family die, it is impossible to choose the date of burial to the day with the mantissa of eight. Because from the theory of Yin and Yang, the gas fields of women and men are relative, men are positive and women are negative. Then if women choose to be buried on a day with a mantissa of eight, it will lead to too much yin in the whole world.

Matters needing attention during burial

1. It is necessary to choose an auspicious day for burial according to the Gregorian calendar, and notify the relatives who need to attend the burial ceremony after setting the date. The burial ceremony usually ends before 12 am, and the burial time is basically completed at 9:00- 10am. After the date is determined, it is necessary to inform the depository of the time to collect the ashes and inform the cemetery of the burial time.

2. Although the burial ceremony is becoming more and more simplified, the items that need to be prepared are essential. First of all, you need to prepare offerings, incense burners, candles and other items. If there are funerary objects, you need to communicate with the cemetery in advance to determine whether you can place funerary objects. If it can be placed, you can prepare cloth, funerary objects, wax paper money and sacrifices.
