What are the customs of burning seven

1. Chant and burn the seventh day. When an old person is buried, his children and relatives should repeatedly remind him, saying things like: "(name) × month × day is your seventh day, don't forget to come back and get the money."
2. Guard the room and bed. After an old person is buried, before the seventh day, children usually do not go out wearing heavy mourning clothes, for fear of bringing bad luck to others. You have to stay at home and watch over the elderly’s room and bed (sleep in their bed). It is said that at this time, the old man's soul has not completely left the house, and staying at home is to prevent him from being afraid and lonely.
3. Don’t shave or get a haircut. People do not shave or cut their hair for 49 days to show their remembrance and respect for the deceased elder.
4. On the 573rd anniversary, children must be well taken care of. "Five Sevens" generally refers to the five "sevens" of one, two, three, five and seven; it specifically refers to the fifth "seven", also known as the "Big Seven". The "fifth seventh" and "third anniversary" are both major memorial days. This saying also shows the importance of the seventh-day funeral and the range of participants - children must be present, and close relatives and friends can also come to accompany.
