Process of tomb moving ceremony

First, the location of the new grave: the location of the new grave is the most important in the whole process of moving the grave, so family members pay special attention to the address of the new grave when moving the grave, and some even pay a lot of money to ask professional masters to help determine the address of the new grave, thinking that as long as the address of the new grave is chosen, the whole process of moving the grave will be half successful. Second, choose an auspicious day: after the address of the new grave is determined, the next step is to determine the auspicious day for moving the grave. Influenced by traditional funeral customs, China people attach great importance to the choice of auspicious days, especially for weddings and funerals. People always like to choose an auspicious day, thinking that everything will go smoothly and everything will be fine if the corresponding ceremony is held on this auspicious day. Third, the preparation of grave-sweeping supplies: After the auspicious day of the ecliptic is decided, the following items are used in the busy preparations for grave-sweeping, such as radishes with roots (meaning successors), four apples (meaning smooth grave-sweeping), four bananas (meaning auspicious seasons) and sacrifices such as white wine, burning paper and incense candles. 4. Worship before moving the grave: After the supplies for moving the grave are fully prepared, bring them to the grave on the auspicious day of moving the grave, place offerings, burn incense, and the younger generation will open white wine and propose a toast to the ancestors. Then walk around the old grave, thank the land god for giving you trouble, thank you for taking care of you for so many years, and then respect your neighbors. Next, inform the ancestors of the reasons for moving the grave, the location and environment of the new grave, etc. And please forgive me. 5. Auspicious words for moving graves: Auspicious words for moving graves vary from place to place. The general idea is to move to a new house for the elderly on auspicious days in the ecliptic, so that the elderly can enjoy peace in the new environment. At the same time, please take good care of their children and grandchildren, and bless their health, family harmony, smooth career, bumper crops and rolling financial resources. 6. Breaking the ground and moving the grave: After reading the auspicious words of moving the grave, the eldest son will take the lead in moving the first shovel, and then the professional grave-moving master will break the ground and dig. After moving out the ashes or picking up the bones, in order to ensure that the bones are intact, put the scattered bones away. If there are any missing bones, turn over the soil several times to find them. After the ashes or bones are removed, the family members will be carried to the new grave for burial.
