What are the taboos for attending a funeral?

When attending funeral or condolence activities, both men and women should wear dark clothes such as black and blue, and men can wear white or dark shirts. Care and comfort are necessary for the relatives of the deceased. Some excessive actions, such as crying, should be avoided. In terms of wording, we should also pay attention to the solemnity of the funeral site. The words of mourners should be restrained. Talking loudly and slapping with laughter are disrespectful to the deceased and their families. Only by lowering your voice and behaving gently and steadily can you show your sincerity and elegance. Funeral taboo: people who attend the funeral should not attend the funeral ceremony together with the date of birth of the deceased: due to the principle of "noon and noon collide, Jin Mu attends the funeral ceremony", if the deceased was born in the following year, no matter the relatives or friends of the deceased, people born in the afternoon cannot attend the funeral ceremony. In addition, pregnant women and babies are also forbidden to send funerals, for fear of being infected with ominous gas. Don't attend funerals, and the zodiac signs of the deceased: At funerals, there is usually a notice board explaining which zodiac signs conflict with the zodiac signs of the deceased and must be avoided. Some will put a basin of water in the mourning hall to bathe the guests who come to attend the funeral to dispel the ominous atmosphere. Don't cry at the funeral, shed tears for the dead: relatives and friends of the dead should keep calm when holding the funeral ceremony. No one is allowed to cry at this time, otherwise the dead can't leave, and their souls can't ascend to heaven, so they can only stay in the funeral home. If you accidentally drop your tears on the deceased because you cry, it will make the deceased wander around the world and cannot be reincarnated. No burial in July: July is regarded as a ghost month by ordinary people. At this time, the gates of hell in the underworld opened wide and many ghosts were exiled to the underworld. If you are buried in July, it may attract more ghosts, which is even worse for your family. Don't cut your hair or shave during the mourning period: according to folk custom, relatives can't cut your hair or shave you during the mourning period at home. It is generally believed that this is to express extreme grief, so that it is impossible to take care of pruning. And its other purpose is to ward off evil spirits, to make yourself look different in peacetime through unkempt appearance, so that the dead can't recognize it and avoid being disturbed. Don't say "heavy" when going out for a funeral: when going out for a funeral, the coffin bearer should keep quiet and don't say "heavy". If you accidentally blurt it out, it may lead to accidents, such as the coffin being heavier and more difficult to lift, or the coffin falling to the ground while moving. Don't go to see the temple building, get married and get in touch with pregnant women and babies with filial piety: because it is generally believed that filial piety has an ominous smell, and all occasions related to sacred events and celebrations, such as building temples, setting stoves, or weddings and wedding banquets, should be avoided. Otherwise, under the fierce infection of filial piety, the temple building is ineffective, or the relationship between newlyweds is not good. If undertaker comes into contact with the mother or baby, it will lead to dystocia of the mother and premature death of the baby.
