In terms of religion and folklore, people often burn paper money to the dead after death, so that he spend in the netherworld, but reincarnation and the past life and present life say, this is not contradictory No contradiction. Because some people will be reincarnated after death, but not everyone will be reincarnated.

There is a saying that is personally recognized that only people who die horizontally (also animals and plants) will be reincarnated, not if they live a long life or enjoy it.

So it's true that the reincarnated ones don't enjoy those paper money. But the end-of-life kind is excluded.

The past-life theory is actually more valid for reincarnation, and there is no afterlife for the end-of-life ones. So there is no contradiction between the two per se. What is contradictory is because it has been misinterpreted, or there is just a difference in folk understanding.

Off-topic, in fact, the burning of paper money, only those gold and silver treasure is really used, after all, no matter whether the gold on earth and the netherworld are hard currency. But those heaven and earth bank is basically fake money, even if the netherworld side received also have to find a cabinet stuffed in, was found to be a big thing.
