Why do family members break the brazier after death?

The reasons for family members to break the brazier after death are as follows:

After death, family members want to smash the brazier to pieces. This is called a filial son throwing an earthen basin. There is paper ashes inside. This earthenware basin is placed in front of the soul of the deceased to convert power coins. On the day of the funeral, it must be broken before the coffin can be carried away.

Smashing an earthenware basin means peace and security all year round. Generally, the more broken the basin, the better. However, under normal circumstances, the eldest son of the family is responsible for breaking the pots. If there are no children, the closest cousin of the same surname is the cousin, but the condition is that he is unmarried. If he is married, he will be married to his unmarried cousin, in the order of eldest and youngest.

Note: A son-in-law has a foreign surname and is generally not qualified to break pots for his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
