Funeral in Traditional Rural Areas of Guizhou Province

Due to violation of funeral regulations, the body of a villager buried in Guizhou was dug up and taken away. I don't think it should be cremated after burial

China is a big country with a long history. In the past five thousand years, China has preserved many traditional cultures.

Some of these traditional cultures are dross, which have been resisted and eliminated after reform or preserved in the right way. Among them, traditional funeral culture is the traditional culture that continues to spread after reform.

In ancient times, people paid attention to their parents. Even after death, they should keep their body integrity, otherwise it would be difficult to rest in peace. In modern times, due to the shortage of land and environmental safety, traditional burial has been banned, and the deceased can only be buried after cremation.

However, in some rural areas, there are still people of the older generation who can't accept burial and ask future generations to bury themselves before they die. For example, the old man in the topic was dug up after illegal burial, but although burial is forbidden, I don't think the buried body should be dug up again for cremation.

Second, the thinking of the older generation is more traditional. Nowadays, most people who ask for burial are elderly people. Their ideas are not as advanced and traditional as those of young people.

All their lives, they have always believed that being buried is right. If someone tells him that he can't be buried after he dies, he must be cremated. It is normal for them not to accept it, and they should not be forced to accept it.

System reform is a step-by-step process, and there should be a certain transition period to give the old people the opportunity to adapt and accept.

Third, the deceased is a great man who has been buried, which means that he has accepted the farewell of his relatives and bid farewell to the world with dignity. If his body is dug up just for cremation, it is actually disrespectful to the deceased and violates the principle that the deceased is big and slightly inhuman.

To sum up, I think people who have been buried should not be dug up and cremated.
