Why can't the ashes be taken home?

The reasons why ashes can't be taken home are as follows:

1. From the soul of the deceased, the urn should not be kept at home.

The reason is that if the urn is placed at home, it is to bring the soul of the deceased home. The deceased had to watch his family eat and drink Lazar in the world, but things were troubled. We all say that the dead are gone, so how can the dead rest in peace? Although this has solved the yearning of the living and expressed their filial piety, it is a kind of imprisonment for the deceased, and the same is true of keeping the urn at home and not letting the deceased rest in peace.

Physically speaking, the dead and the living are different species with different magnetic fields.

The urn is a very taboo material. Even a family has different sensitivities. Because everyone has different physical qualities, some people may feel physical or psychological discomfort.

3. From the perspective of geomantic omen, the ashes of the deceased will also have a geomantic effect on future generations.

People in China pay attention to burying the ashes in the ground, and it is impossible to have a good feng shui effect if they put them in an ungrounded place like home.

Matters needing attention in ashes burial

1. According to the Gregorian calendar, choose an auspicious day for the deceased to be buried.

2. The relatives of the deceased, accompanied by the undertaker, first burned a small amount of yellow paper in the buried grave, commonly known as "warm cave", to show that the deceased also had a "warm home".

Relatives of the deceased personally scattered some Yin Fu soil at the bottom of the tomb. Yin Fu soil has the functions of moisture-proof, insect-proof and cinerary casket protection. Then you can sit facing south or west and carefully place the urn.

4. After placing the urn, you can spread gold or silver cloth on it, commonly known as "spreading gold and covering silver", which means remembering the dead and symbolizing prosperity in the afterlife.
