What are the concerns and taboos about moving graves?

When you break ground, you should burn incense, worship your ancestors, pray for the reason and address of their relocation, and the words of their blessing and protection. On the time of moving the grave, it is best to move the grave before the arrival of Tomb-Sweeping Day, so that the ancestors can settle down in Tomb-Sweeping Day and protect their descendants. It is best to move the grave at noon to avoid being burned to the bones by the essence of the sun at noon. After opening the hole, the ancestors' bones must be placed neatly. There are too many ancestors in the ancestral graves, so we must pay attention to the pairing and placement of personnel relations after lifting the bones. When ancestors laid a new cemetery, they had to adjust the direction of the mountains.

The first is the time to move the grave. Before moving to the grave, families often find some gentlemen who know Feng Shui to help them choose the right time. In ancient times, people were very taboo to be buried once every two days, so it was very important to choose the time. Secondly, it is geographical location. The location of the grave is very important. A yin house is similar to a yang house, except that one is ours and the other belongs to the dead. Therefore, the location of the yin house is also very important. Good lots can bless future generations, while bad lots may bring trouble. Therefore, in order to show respect for the deceased, try to choose a place with good feng shui so as to rest in peace.

Finally, when moving graves, there are some customs that should be observed. Before moving the grave, you should ask a gentleman who knows Feng Shui to help you see the location and time. It is forbidden for grandchildren to break ground. When you arrive at the new grave, you'd better fill in the soil of the original cemetery. It is best for pregnant women or women who have their period not to attend the grave-moving ceremony. In the process of moving graves, early morning or morning is often chosen to avoid the sun. In the process of moving the grave, cover the urn with an umbrella to prevent direct sunlight.

Every place has its own customs. If you encounter the matter of moving the grave, you should communicate with the elderly in time. Many elderly people know the local customs and try to cater to the customs to complete the work of moving graves, which not only respects the deceased, but also does not destroy the customs.
