What's so particular about the urn?

Question 1: What's so particular about the urn? Since the urn is a human body, there are naturally many stresses, but after the funeral reform, people ignored this important culture, sin, sin! I heard from laymen that someone used the wrong urn, and the consequences were terrible.

1: The cinerary casket has the same function as the coffin, so it is naturally consistent with the coffin.

2. The coffins in the East and the West are forbidden to be square (long), but now most of the urns are square, which is probably unacceptable.

3. According to the old carpenter, Lu Banchi should be used to decide good or bad luck for the gate, and Ding Lan ruler should be used for the coffin and shrine. I'm afraid few people can understand this.

4. What is "dying"? Didn't you say the urn must be made of wood? Cedar, boxwood, nanmu and ebony are the best.

5: The urn also has a beam mouth, three long and two short, a seven-star hole and so on.

Of course, it is also possible that different people see different wisdom, and it is also possible to pass by occasionally and laugh.

Question 2: What are the key points in the selection of urn and what should be paid attention to? 1. The size and volume of the urn:

The volume of the urn should not be greater than 5000 cm3.

External dimension requirements: the length should not be greater than 35 cm; ;

The width should not be greater than 22 cm.

The height should not be greater than 18 cm.

2. Classification:

The selection of cinerary caskets should be mainly determined according to the customs and habits of the relevant areas, the aesthetic hobbies of bereaved families, the climate and environment of the storage location, and their respective economic conditions. And it should not be generally believed that the bigger the more expensive the better. When bereaved families buy urns, they should spend as little as possible in the spirit of thrift, instead of keeping up with each other and blindly pursuing big and expensive, resulting in unnecessary waste.

The urn is a container for collecting ashes in the industry. With the development and application of new technologies and materials, there are more and more kinds of urns, and their shapes are more and more beautiful.

At present, there are five categories of urns sold in society:

One is wood.

The second is metal.

The third is vitrification.

The fourth one is stone.

The fifth is pottery.

Every category has many subcategories! In addition, remember to distinguish between imitations when buying! Imitations are mainly jade imitations and mahogany imitations!

Question 3: What should I pay attention to when moving the urn? This is a common problem. First, I should prepare a deposit certificate for storing the ashes in the funeral home, and go to the funeral home to collect the urn of the deceased with the deposit certificate during work hours and go through the relevant procedures. When the casket of the deceased is buried in the cemetery, the items to be prepared include: if two deceased people are buried together, prepare a piece of seven-foot red cloth as the "lining" of the cave, and prepare the corresponding moistureproof box, which is what we call the "coffin". At the same time, it has a good moistureproof effect on the ashes, or it can be moistureproof with gospel soil;

Seven-star copper coins and gold and silver ingots will be used for burial. If the deceased had something he liked before his death, he could be buried together. Grave beasts can choose at will with their families. These are the basic items that need to be prepared in the cave. If family members have special requirements, they can communicate with the cemetery at any time. At the same time of burial, the decorations on tombstones are generally red silk flower and decorative flowers, and it is best to use flowers to express their grief. Incense burners and incense burners should be prepared at will and burn a proper amount of paper at the designated burning place. Tribute is specific to several kinds of cakes and fruits, among which pears (from) and oranges (from) are best not to prepare fruits, because homophonic sounds are not good.

Although the cemetery has professionals to serve the whole process of burial, at the end of burial, family members can prepare clean cotton swabs to wipe the tombstone for the deceased to show their respect.

These are the basic necessities, and family members can prepare more complete burial supplies according to their own requirements.

Question 4: What's the point of burying the urn? 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 the prosperity of the afterlife.

5. If the space of the tomb allows, you can also place some favorite items of the deceased to show the meaning of burial.

6. After that, sprinkle about 2 bags of Yin Fu soil around the urn (depending on the size of the grave) to fill the space of the whole grave, so that Yin Fu soil can protect the whole urn, which means that the deceased can rest in peace.

7. After the above process, the burial master will be responsible for sealing the hole with the confirmation of the relatives of the deceased.

8. The relatives of the deceased held a sacrificial ceremony. Give baskets and bouquets of flowers and fresh fruits at tombstones, graves and open spaces beside graves. You can say something comforting to the deceased to show your condolences.

9. The relatives and friends of the deceased who attended the funeral stood in silence and bowed three times at last, and the memorial ceremony was all over. (Source: Empty Network)

Question 5: What are the options for the urn? Burial, water burial, celestial burial and cremation are different ways to deal with the remains of the deceased.

Cremation is to put the cremated ashes into urns of various shapes carved from different materials such as wood and jade, so that the families of the deceased can take them away and store them.

There are single urn and double urn, the latter is combined into one for husband and wife burial, and there is a red bag in the urn. As long as the ashes are put into the bag, there is nothing to pay attention to. If one of the husband and wife dies first, the ashes have been put in the box, and the other party dies later, you can also pay for the box instead of buying double boxes. When buried together, put the two urns side by side and cover them with red cloth.

1. Do you need any ceremony to take the urn out of the funeral home?

When the ashes were taken out of the funeral home, we knew that only by burying them and covering the grave with slate could we see the light. Cover the sun with a large piece of cloth above the urn. At least two people need to hold the cloth. It's best to use an account.

2. Is the grain jar in the tomb? What texture is not easily weathered or degraded?

I don't usually use this at home. It is best to put perishable things outside the tomb. If you are afraid of stealing, you'd better fix them firmly with glue. Dongshan management office sells those square plastic sealed storage boxes, which are used to store urns. An urn was soaked in water and eaten by a bug. But I think it's better not to put the grain tank you mentioned in it.

3. How to arrange seven spoonfuls of stars? Is it on top of the "spread gold" and under the plastic box?

I'm not sure about that. You should ask someone else.

There is no need for many people to attend the funeral, right? I think five or six people are enough?

If it is a burial, it is mainly for the descendants of the deceased. Spouses usually avoid being too sad, so they don't go. If the younger generation and their spouses are few in number, they can seek help from friends who have a good relationship with the younger generation. Generally, as long as there are enough people, just come over when you are busy, and you need to calculate. The eldest son should hold the urn, and at least two people should hold the tent to shade the sun. It is more appropriate to have about five people, and it is best to have a backbone to organize it.

5. What is the texture of incense burner? Because it will be placed outside the tomb.

Usually buy porcelain, which is cheap and practical. Many people in the cemetery are recycling those things and taking them back for sale. . . Therefore, it is best to use porcelain and fix it firmly on the cement floor next to the tomb with white cement to avoid damaging the tomb surface. In this case, even if the incense burner is damaged, the loss is not great. If you use a metal, more expensive incense burner, those people are more likely to steal it.

6. Dad died of illness, not a funeral. What should I pay attention to in the procedure?

Just don't be too ostentatious, don't set off firecrackers or anything, and keep a low profile. . .

7. Ask elders or professionals to list the specific burial procedures.

Question 6: What's the point of keeping the urn at home? It is convenient for sacrifice and easy to attract ghosts to gather.

Question 7: Did you pay attention to the person holding the urn when moving the grave? Hello, I have been in contact with the urn since I was 4 years old. I graduated from college at the age of 22 and wrote a paper on the urn. Now working in the largest cinerary casket franchise store in China, I know a little about this. I believe I can give you some reasonable suggestions and solutions. First of all, being buried in a grave is a traditional concept in China, so there is no need to change it whether it is moving a grave (changing a cemetery) or changing an urn (changing an urn). There are generally two situations when changing boxes. 1. The second old man in the family passed away, and the children wanted the two old people to live together, so they bought a double urn for burial. 2. Move the grave, but the original urn is damaged and needs to be replaced. Many people have concerns about changing boxes, which is normal. After all, thousands of years of funeral customs in China have been deeply imprinted in people's minds, but the society is developing and the concept is progressing, so there is no need to stick to the previous statement. So I suggest to look at the damage degree of the original urn first (even if it is 20 years, it doesn't mean it will rot, which is related to the material, structure, workmanship and temperature and humidity of the placing environment). If it is deformed, it is recommended to replace it. If it is basically in good condition, there is no need to replace it.
