Should the monument stand in front of or behind the grave?

The location of the monument mainly depends on the following aspects:

1. Feng Shui: According to the principle of Feng Shui, the monument should be placed in front of the tomb, because there is a mountain in the back and a mountain in front. It is reasonable to place the stone tablet in this way, which conforms to the principle of geomantic omen.

2. It depends: different regions and different families may have different traditions and habits, so the location of the monument may be different. In some places, the monument may be erected behind the tomb, and in some places, it will be erected next to the tomb.

3. Commemorative significance: The main purpose of erecting a monument is to commemorate the ancestors and express respect and nostalgia for them. Therefore, the location of the monument should be convenient for future generations to see and feel, in line with commemorative significance.

In short, the location of the monument should be determined according to the actual situation and traditional habits, and it cannot be generalized.
