How long does the dead stay at home?

Generally, it takes about three days, which can be extended or shortened according to actual needs. If it is hot in midsummer, we should consider using ice to prevent corrosion.

Put it at home, on the one hand, it is to wait for distant relatives to go home to mourn, and also to let relatives and friends mourn. On the other hand, it's time to prepare for the funeral.

There is also a situation where superstitious people ask people to choose an auspicious day for burial. The so-called auspicious days are too long apart.

It's very special. In the past, my family was poor and I couldn't bury it. I heard that the body coffin has been at home for 40 years. This is the same as Chiang Kai-shek and his son not burying Taiwan Province Province. Of course, the Chiang family is not poor, but it will be buried in Fenghua, Zhejiang.

Under normal circumstances, no one wants to leave the dead at home for a long time, so there is a saying that the grave is safe.
